OIL
Saudi Aramco may cut the Arab Light OSP to Asia by about $0.15/bbl in April to a premium of $3.75/bbl to the Oman-Dubai benchmark, according to a Bloomberg survey of five trader and refiners.
- The survey showed a range from a minor cut to a reduction of $1/bbl.
- The OSP was raised by $2.40/bbl for March to a premium of $3.90/bbl to the Oman-Dubai benchmark. The largest increase since August 2022 was in response to improving refinery margins and surging premiums of Middle East crude boosted by interest in non-sanctioned supplies.
- OSPs are typically released within the first five days of the month.
- An announcement from OPEC+ on output policy for April is expected after Saudi OSPs are released.
