Saudi Arabia, along with Russia, leads Opec+ efforts to boost crude prices through group-wide supply cuts and voluntary reductions.
Saudi Aramco is seen keeping Arab Light pricing to Asia for December unchanged on-month, according to the median in a Bloomberg survey of seven traders and refiners. The world’s biggest crude exporter had boosted the pricing every month after June as demand stayed healthy and stockpiles shrank.
