Middle East Crude-Benchmarks post monthly declines as abundant supply weighs

SINGAPORE, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmark spot premiums in Oman and Murban fell on Friday, while those in Dubai gained and trading surged on the last day of this month.

All the benchmarks posted monthly drops amid ample supplies.

Following the downward trend, Asian refining sources expected Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, to lower its January crude price for Asian buyers for a second month to its lowest level in five years.
