SINGAPORE, June 18 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmark Murban differentials fell on Thursday to discount, while the Dubai premium slightly eased on rising supply outlook.

Oil prices fell 2% on Thursday to their lowest since the first trading day of the Iran war, as a U.S.-Iran interim deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease sanctions on Tehran boosted the global supply outlook.

The 14-point memorandum of understanding begins a 60-day negotiation period during which Iran will allow toll-free passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil and gas shipping lane. The deal calls for traffic through the strait to be restored to its full capacity within 30 days.

Middle Eastern crude oil markets could come under further pressure if the Strait of Hormuz reopens on Friday, releasing millions of barrels of oil stranded in the Middle East Gulf into global markets, industry executives said.

TENDER

Taiwan's CPC has bought four million barrels of sweet crude from the United States for September arrival via a tender, trade sources said.

Sri Lanka's Ceypetco Refinery is also seeking for Murban crude via tender.

SINGAPORE CASH DEALS

Cash Dubai's premium to swaps fell 3 cents to 34 cents a barrel.
