Asia Begins Pricing US Oil Against Brent As Dubai Volatility Spikes
Submitted by Michael Kern of OilPrice.com
Asian refiners have started pricing their orders for U.S. crude oil against the ICE Brent benchmark instead of the typical pricing on Dubai crude, as the Middle Eastern benchmark has seen wild fluctuations amid choked physical supply from the Persian Gulf.
Dubai crude prices soared last week to an all-time high of $169.75 per barrel, and were around $130 a barrel early on Friday.

Konkrete Schritte hat noch keines der beiden Länder unternommen, doch der Druck wächst, während Teheran weiterhin die Energieinfrastruktur der Region ins Visier nimmt.. --- Trotzdem warnt Chevron-CEO Mike Wirth, dass das Schlimmste noch nicht eingepreist sei. "Es gibt sehr reale, konkrete Auswirkungen der Sperrung der Straße von Hormus, die sich weltweit und im gesamten System bemerkbar machen und die meiner Meinung nach noch nicht vollständig in den Öl-Terminkurven eingepreist sind", sagte Wirth auf der CERAWeek-Konferenz in Houston. Der Markt handele auf Basis "spärlicher Informationen" – das physische Angebot sei deutlich knapper, als die Terminkontrakte vermuten ließen..
