Methodology & Evidence Grounding: On September 9, 2026, @spectatorindex confirmed Brent crude breached $100/bbl for the first time since July 23rd. The downstream projection model applies standard short-run price elasticity of demand formulation: ΔP/P ≈ -(ΔQ/Q) / ε, incorporating crack spreads and pass-through coefficients to consumer fuel prices and core headline inflation indices.
