Middle East Crude-Benchmarks inch down amid light trading

SINGAPORE, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmarks Oman, Dubai and Murban dipped slightly on Monday, though activities in spot market stayed thin.

Market was awaiting more official selling prices from major producers and Saudi Aramco's allocation for March-loading oil.

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company $(ADNOC.AU)$ has set the March official selling price $(OSP.AU)$ of its benchmark Murban crude at $80.22 a barrel, it said on Friday, up from February's OSP of $73.28.
