Saudi: Oil prices raised for Asian and US customers

Saudi Arabia raised oil prices for buyers in Asia and the US on Sunday days after OPEC and its allies made a surprise decision to increase output.

State producer Saudi Aramco increased January’s official selling price (OSP) for all crude grades that will be shipped to Asia and to the US. The company raised the key Arab Light grade for customers in Asia by 60 cents from December to $3.30 a barrel versus Oman/Dubai crude.

OPEC+, led by the Saudi Arabia and Russia, opted on Thursday to proceed with a supply increase next month, even as new COVID-19 cases threaten to sap demand. OPEC+ said it could change plans at short notice if the market worsens.
