Saudi Arabia makes August crude oil cheaper for Asian buyers
Saudi Arabia has significantly slashed its August Arab Light crude oil price for Asia, setting it at $1.50 a barrel below the Oman/Dubai average, the lowest since June 2020. This substantial reduction, far exceeding market forecasts, follows a sharp decline in spot crude markets amid increased Middle Eastern supplies. The previous month's price stood at a $9.50 premium.
