Brent Crude vs. WTI Crude 2012.02.07

The comparative charts of BRENT and WTI Crude Oil is pointing out significant changes since January 2011.

The lower chart shows the correlation index of Brent and WTI and a value close to 1 indicates a good correlation. Since the beginning of last year, Brent started to rise faster than the WTI and this scenario seems to repeat in the beginning of this year, too.

In the last couple of weeks, the Brent reacted the most to the instability in Iran while the WTI kept its low rates due to the large stocks in oil in USA and concerns on the demand side.
