SINGAPORE, July 22 (Reuters) -Spot premiums for Middle East crude benchmarks Oman, Dubai and Murban crude eased on Monday as buying interest from Asian refiners slowed after a flurry of trade activities last week.

Thai refiner IRPC has bought one September-loading cargo of Das crude each from Glencore and Vitol at premiums of 90 cents to $1 a barrel to Dubai quotes, traders said, up from premiums of 80-90 cents a barrel in trades seen last week.

The refiner has also bought 1-2 cargoes of Murban crude at $1.60-$1.70 a barrel above Dubai quotes, they added.

Separately, Dubai has set its official differential to Oman futures 1OQc1 for October at a premium of $0.10 per barrel, the Dubai Department of Petroleum Affairs said on Monday.

SINGAPORE CASH DEALS
