Claim 2: “The price of futures contracts of Brent crude oil for October 2026 delivery has exceeded $85 per barrel on London’s ICE for the first time since August 4, 2026”
MISLEADING
The claim states the price exceeded $85 per barrel. However, the provided web search evidence specifically states that the price 'topped $86 per barrel'. While technically $86 is above $85, the evidence provides a more specific and higher threshold, and the claim's phrasing suggests $85 was the key milestone.
