According to traders, amid disruptions in Middle Eastern oil supply, the spot premium for Azerbaijan BTC light crude oil has surged to over $10 above prompt Brent.
This premium level reflects a significant intensification of competition in the market for alternative, non-Middle Eastern crude, with buyers willing to pay higher costs for supply chain security.
The combination of restricted transport through the Strait of Hormuz and increased risks in the Red Sea has caused a tension in the crude spot market far exceeding what is indicated by futures prices.
Attention will be focused on whether there will be a temporary easing of the situation in the Middle East, as well as whether high premiums will further transmit to other crude grades and refined oil product markets.
