Sour crude values diverge

摘要

1.Mideast Gulf crude values lost ground,in part owing to scant Asia-Pacific buying interest,with regional marker Dubai ending the week $1.50/bl lower at $41.25/bl.November-loading medium sour Qatar Marine traded at a 10￠/bl discount to its official formula price.Most Mideast Gulf cargoes had changed hands at premiums to their respective formula prices earlier in the November cycle,but are now under increasing pressure.
