UAE'S ADNOC cuts Murban crude selling price to $4 over Dubai quotes for December

UAE's ADNOC has sharply cut its December Murban crude official selling price premium to $4 per barrel above Dubai quotes, down from $11 in November. The December pricing also places Umm Lulu at +$1, Das at -$3 and Upper Zakum at -$4 against Dubai benchmarks. The narrower Murban premium could signal softer pricing conditions for UAE crude exports and potentially pressure regional crude benchmarks.

Shipping costs to India have eased across routes, with Baltic-to-India Aframax voyages falling to $19 million-$21 million from approximately $23 million, while Suezmax rates have also declined. However, renewed drone attacks on Russian refineries could increase crude exports and limit further declines in Urals freight rates.

Oil Prices Extend Decline After Trump Signals Restraint on Iran — Update

Oil prices extended their decline after President Trump signaled that further U.S. military strikes on Iran were unnecessary for now, easing fears of a wider Middle East conflict.

Uncertainty surrounding negotiations and Strait of Hormuz shipping could still trigger renewed volatility in oil markets.
