SINGAPORE, July 10 (Reuters) - The Middle East crude benchmark spot premium of Oman rose to a near three-week high on Thursday, while that of Dubai edged lower.
Overall, the Mideast market has been supported by tight supply as producing countries burn more for rising power demand at home amid summer heat and good buying appetite from Asia.
Oil prices declined moderately on Thursday as investors weighed the potential impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on global economic growth.
