Brent crude price ticks up as U.S. winter storm hits output, traders eye next supply test

London, Jan 27, 2026, 11:59 — Regular session Brent crude futures edged higher Tuesday after a U.S. winter storm disrupted crude production and unsettled some Gulf Coast refineries, though potential supply from Kazakhstan capped the rally. “The cold weather in the U.S. will likely cause quite significant drawdowns in oil stocks over the next few weeks,” said Tamas Varga, oil analyst at PVM. Meanwhile, ANZ’s Daniel Hynes noted that “supply risks haven’t totally evaporated.” By 1017 GMT, Brent had gained 23 cents, or 0.35%, to $65.82 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate added 29 cents to $60.92.

NEW YORK, January 19, 2026, 12:26 EST — The market has closed. Oil stocks reopened Tuesday with crude clinging near $64 a barrel after supply worries tied to Iran faded and traders shifted focus to the U.S.-Europe spat over Greenland. Brent inched up a penny to $64.14 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate added 7 cents, landing at $59.51. “The market is now focusing on the Greenland situation … any trade war expansion could impact demand,” said Janiv Shah, analyst at Rystad Energy. Phil Flynn of Price Futures Group described the scene as a market “locked in by competing bullish and bearish forces” that might push prices into “sideways trade.”
