WTI and Brent daily prices
WTI and Brent have delayed daily spot observations as well as monthly history. They are separate benchmarks and should be aligned by date before their movement or spread is compared.
Energy prices and benchmark charts.
Distinct benchmarks, clearly labelled. Compare the same period before drawing a conclusion.
Quick answer: The energy section covers WTI, Brent and Dubai crude oil, priced per barrel, and US natural gas, priced per MMBtu. WTI and Brent have daily spot histories; Dubai and US natural gas use World Bank monthly averages.

Choose the energy benchmark that matches the question.
Use WTI for US crude, Brent for the international waterborne market, Dubai for Middle East crude sold to Asia, and US natural gas for North American gas.
Dubai and wider oil benchmarks
Dubai includes monthly price history. The oil benchmark hub also covers Oman, Murban, Western Canadian Select and the OPEC basket with clearly defined price, supply and methodology views.
US natural gas
US natural gas is a separate monthly reference quoted per MMBtu. It is not an oil price, a world gas price or a household tariff. Use indexed charts when comparing its movement with barrel-based oil series.
Put energy markets on one scale.
All Data Lab tools →Barrels, MMBtu and tonnes cannot be compared directly, so these tools index each benchmark to 100 or follow physical oil volumes instead.
Compare global energy benchmarks Bring oil, natural gas, LNG and coal histories into one indexed view.
Explore the US oil balance Connect production, imports, exports and refinery demand.
Estimate an oil cargo story Connect loaded barrels, loss, quality adjustments and entered costs.
Compare energy with another commodity Put two histories on the same starting line and explain the result.
Understand the benchmark.
Short guides to why oil has several prices, how the Brent–WTI spread works and why the US still imports crude.
Brent and WTI are separate crude-oil series. US natural gas is quoted per MMBtu; these are not retail fuel or utility prices. See coverage and methodology →
