Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Brent at $78 suggests stable to elevated energy-trading activity on ICE’s Brent products, which tends to lift futures and options volume and related clearing fees in the near term. Historically, sustained Brent levels in the high $70s to low $80s correlate with higher energy-volatility trading activity, benefiting ICE monetization of energy products.
