Med crude-Urals diffs hold steady on firm prices in India
MOSCOW, July 31 (Reuters) -Urals crude oil differentials to dated Brent held steady on Wednesday as prices for August-loading cargoes in Indian ports remained firm, market sources said.
Global oil prices rose more than 2% on Wednesday, rebounding from seven-week lows, as the killing of a Hamas leader in Iran ratcheted up tensions in the Middle East and overshadowed a drawdown in U.S. crude stockpiles driven by robust exports.
Kyiv's sanctions prohibiting the transit of oil from Russian producer Lukoil do not pose a threat to Slovakia's energy security, Ukraine's prime minister said on Wednesday.
PLATTS WINDOW
There were no bids or offers made for Urals, CPC Blend or Azeri BTC crude in the Platts window on Wednesday.
NEWS
