Cheap U.S. oil snapped up in Asia even as delta lingers
Bloomberg reports that asian buyers are snapping up cheap U.S. crude cargoes despite lingering demand concerns due to the latest Covid-19 resurgence.
Chinese, Indian and South Korean companies have purchased at least 7 million barrels this month for arrival through October to November, said traders who buy and sell that crude. The level of interest for U.S. oil has been higher than the same period in July as prices for American grades were trimmed with the summer travel season winding down and domestic demand dipping, they said.
Middle Eastern producers, however, hiked crude prices for Asian customers this month, even as the fast-spreading delta variant led to renewed restrictions on movement across the region, most notably in China. The resurgence has led to the International Energy Agency cutting its global oil demand estimates for the rest of this year, while predicting a new surplus in 2022.
While offers for U.S. oil have gained slightly recently, they are still competitive against comparable grades from the Middle East and Russia’s Far East, said the traders.
