OIL: Saudi Crude Allocatons to China to Rise to 46mbbl in October After OSP Cut
OIL
Saudi Aramco will supply about 46mbbl of crude oil to China in October, according to Reuters sources citing monthly allocations for term buyers.
- Bloomberg is showing allocations up to 44mbbl up compared to exports of about 43mbbls in September.
- China's Sinopec and PetroChina sought more crude for October loading while demand from private refiners Rongsheng Petrochemical and Hengli Petrochemical held steady, Reuters sources said.
- The rise comes as the key oil exporter cut prices for Asia with Arab light crude the lowest in nearly three years, boosting demand.
- Arab Light OSP to Asia was last week cut by $0.7/bbl in October to a premium of $1.3/bbbl to the Oman-Dubai benchmark compared to a Bloomberg survey expecting a cut of about $0.85/bbl.
