Middle East Crude-Benchmarks ease; trade for Sept-loading cargoes underway
SINGAPORE, July 16 (Reuters) -Spot premiums for Middle East crude benchmarks Oman, Dubai and Murban eased for a second straight session on Tuesday, while trades for September-loading cargoes are underway.
Unipec has bought three cargoes of Upper Zakum crude at premiums of between $1.65 and $1.70 a barrel above Dubai quotes, traders said.
Cosmo Oil and Hengyi Petrochemical bought one cargo of Das crude each at premiums between 80 and 90 cents a barrel to Dubai quotes, they added.
Spot premiums for September-loading cargoes have risen from the previous month after the widening of Brent's premium to Dubai spread curbed arbitrage flows from the Atlantic Basin to Asia and buoyed demand for Middle East grades.
QatarEnergy is expected to award on Wednesday tenders to sell al-Shaheen, Marine and Land crude.
