Saudi Aramco Lowered Oil Prices For Asia In August
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
By Alimat Aliyeva
Saudi Arabia's national oil company Saudi Aramco has lowered
selling oil prices for buyers in Asia for August,
Azernews reports.
According to the information, the price of Arab Light oil for
Asian buyers has been reduced by 0.6 dollars per barrel. Thus, the
price turned out to be $ 1.8 higher than the regional benchmarks of
Oman/Dubai.
At the same time, traders expected a decrease in the cost of
Saudi oil for Asia by 0.9 dollars per barrel, the agency
reports.
In June, OPEC+ countries set quotas for oil production until the
end of 2025. A number of countries that have carried out additional
production cuts have decided on a partial phased restoration of oil
production as part of voluntary reductions from October 2024. This
decision led to a drop in the price of Brent crude oil to its
lowest level since February due to concerns about weak demand
growth.
Later, representatives of Saudi Arabia stressed that OPEC+
countries will continue to monitor market conditions and may refuse
to increase production. Oil prices subsequently recovered after a
period of recession.
