Middle East Crude-Dubai premium extends decline amid thin trading as US-Iran talks stall

- Middle East crude benchmark Dubai premium extended its decline on Wednesday, while Murban and Oman premiums little moved with light trading as the U.S.-Iran peace talks remained at a deadlock.

Oil prices rose more than 2% on Wednesday, extending gains from the previous session, as hostilities in the Middle East erupted anew and talks between Tehran and Washington showed little progress. O/R
