Middle East Crude-Oman, Dubai climb, Murban edges down

- Middle East crude benchmark spot premiums of Oman and Dubai climbed on Friday and posted slight weekly gains on weekly-basis, while that of Murban dipped.

The Middle East market was supported by tight fundamentals as more local burns of crude limited export and rising summer demand from Asia.

Oil prices rose on Friday after the European Union agreed to new sanctions against Russia, also underpinned by supply concerns following drone attacks on northern Iraqi oilfields and tight market fundamentals.
