Middle East Crude-Dubai rebounds amid volatile swing in EFS spread
SINGAPORE, Aug 28 (Reuters) -Dubai's spot premium to swaps rebounded back to more than a month's high on Wednesday, led by a sharp contraction in the Brent/Dubai Exchange of Futures for swaps spread.
Brent futures fell more than 1% on Wednesday in Asia trading hours as concerns emerged over Chinese demand and elevated risks of a broader slowdown.
The market also eyed potential supply losses from the Middle East and Libya, after several oilfields across Libya halted output as a dispute continues between rival government factions over control of the central bank and oil revenue.
Meanwhile, Oman's spot premium extended declines by 10 cents to $1 a barrel on Wednesday, amid a backdrop of suppresed Chinese demand.
