The Financial Times' historical table records the Oct. 16 readings for the IB.1:IEU Brent series. It does not show Brent's price at 2:29 p.m. ET.
NBC News' report, republished by Yahoo Finance, said the benchmark moved above $110 after 2:30 p.m. ET Friday. The Yahoo page displays a 1:55 p.m. ET publication time, earlier than the event time cited in the story.
