Middle East Crude-Oman hits six-month peak; Dubai, Murban steady

Reuters07-30

SINGAPORE, July 30 (Reuters) - The Middle East crude benchmark spot premium of Oman jumped on Wednesday to a six-month high, while that of Dubai and Murban were largely steady.

The market has been underpinned by supply-demand tightness and rising interest as some Indian buyers switched from Russian cargoes after the United States threatened secondary tariffs on countries buying Russian oil.
