Saudi oil giant Aramco, the world’s top crude oil exporter, hiked on Friday the prices of most of its crude grades for May, as Middle East ern benchmarks are strengthening in a market that looks increasingly tight. For a second consecutive month, Saudi Arabia raised the price of Arab Light , its flagship grade selling in Asia, by more than expected. Aramco set the official selling price OSP of Arab Light for Asia for May by $0.30 per barrel to a premium of $2.
Now the increase for May is $0.30 per barrel, the upper end of refining sources’ expectations polled by Reuters earlier this week. The Reuters survey of five refining sources showed that they expected Arab Light crude prices for May to be hiked by between $0.20 and $0.30 per barrel over the Middle Eastern benchmark. A Bloomberg survey of traders and refiners expected an increase of $0.10 per barrel.
