The Officials: China opens wide

11 September 2025: 09:30 BST

Wow! We are hearing from trading sources 51 million barrels of Saudi allocations to China for October loading folks! If the physical premium is down and the Saudi OSPs are down, allocations rise, who would have thought? Brent slid back from its highs of yesterday afternoon through the Asian session, grinding downwards towards the low-$67 range. Although flat price has recovered from its dip towards $65, against Dubai, it’s still getting hammered! The October Brent/Dubai spread has tumbled to near -$1.70 – it was only -58c on 4 September. The sweet vs sour game is still where the party’s at, even as the parties in Singapore wind down.
