Middle East Crude-Benchmarks fall; Dubai premium weighed down by more offers

SINGAPORE, March 30 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmarks Oman, Dubai and Murban premiums declined on Monday, paring some gains from the sharp rally in previous weeks boosted by the U.S.-Iran conflict.

The spot premium on Dubai crude oil, which has soared since war began in Iran, fell by more than half late last week after sellers piled on offers. Dubai also dipped on Monday with more offers.

The market also tends to be more volatile at the end of each month.

Oil prices extended gains on Monday, with Brent heading for a record monthly rise, after Yemeni Houthis launched their first attacks on Israel, widening the U.S.-Israel war against Iran. O/R
