Saudi Arabia which is the top exporter of crude oil and could increase the prices of the month of October by 4-5 percent and would hence trade it to the Asian countries further after the increasing pressure on prices of the oil in the region.

For Saudi Aramco’s trademark Arab Light crude, the official selling price (OSP) would be declined by approximately USD 4.50 per barrel in October. To record the high levels of USD 10.95 per barrel after the raise in OSP of September against Oman or Dubai average and USD 9.80 per barrel for Arab Light and would consider as the first price drop in Saudi Arabia in the four months till now.

Saudi Arabia draws inspiration frequently from the market structure of Dubai while setting up the pricing which hence represents the price spread between the first and third months. In the Month of August, the spread diminished by roughly USD 4.26 per barrel.

As per the market experts, the overall demand for crude oil in Asia is not very strong. The arbitrage cargoes from the countries like West Africa and the United States stream into Asian Countries, with this the tight concerns for the supply are mostly eased.

Asia’s number one oil refiner exporter is Sinopec which predicts a year ago about its second-half refinery to plunge eight percent and the processing annual value for the year 2022 to fall by 6 percent in comparison to 2021.
