Saudi Arabia may set May oil prices to Asia at record high on war disruption

Saudi Arabia may hike its May crude official selling prices to Asia to record highs as Middle East oil became the world’s most expensive after the US-Israeli war with Iran caused massive supply disruptions, according to a Reuters survey of industry sources.

The May official selling price (OSP) for flagship Arab Light crude, the country’s most widely sold grade, may rise to premiums of $22.50 to $40.50 a barrel above the average of Dubai and Oman quotes, six sources said in the survey, $20 to $38 a barrel higher than the OSP for April.
