Saudi Arabia is expected to lower its official selling price (OSP) for Arab Light crude in February, marking the third consecutive monthly decline. This adjustment reflects a broader trend of global crude oversupply, driven by increased output from OPEC+ and production growth in the United States
US. The new premium is anticipated to be between 30 to 50 cents per barrel against Oman/Dubai quotes, down from the January premium of 60 cents, which was the lowest in five years.
The decline in Saudi Arabia's
SA pricing strategy comes amid a market characterized by weakening spot market premiums. In December, the cash Dubai premium averaged 61 cents per barrel, a notable drop from 88 cents in November and a stark contrast to the 122 cents observed in October. This downward trend indicates sustained pressure on crude benchmarks globally.
