OIL: Saudi May Cut Oct. Arab Light OSP $0.4-$0.7/bbl: Reuters Survey

Aug-28 09:31

Saudi Arabia may cut its October Arab Light OSP between $0.4-$0.7/bbl to a premium of between $2.50-$2.80/bbl, five refining sources said in a Reuters survey.

  • October OSPs for other crude grades - Arab Extra Light, Arab Medium and Arab Heavy – could be cut $0.4-$0.6/bbl, the survey showed.
  • The forecasts are in line with a $0.55/bbl decline in cash Dubai’s premium to swaps this month from last month, amid ample supply and weaker demand, Reuters says.
  • For September, Saudi Arabia hiked Arab Light prices by $1/bbl to a five-month high of $3.2/bbl with prices boosted by strong demand from Asia and domestic cooling demand.
  • Saudi crude OSPs are usually released around the fifth of each month.
