Middle East Crude-Benchmarks climb after sharp drops

SINGAPORE, March 5 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmark spot premiums of Oman, Dubai and Murban bounced back on Wednesday after heavy sell-offs in the previous two sessions.

Premiums sharply declined earlier due to more supplies from Russia to China this month after sanctions-drive slowdowns last month, and decision by OPEC+ to boost its output from April.

Cash Dubai's premium to swaps rose 48 cents to $1.10 a barrel.

PetroChina will deliver a May Upper Zakum crude cargo to Vitol following the deals.

As OPEC+ debated whether to keep oil output steady due to weak global demand or pump more in response to internal pressure and a call from U.S. President Donald Trump, it was record output from Kazakhstan that helped sway the decision, sources told Reuters.

U.S. retail gasoline prices are set to climb in the coming weeks as new tariffs imposed by the administration of President Donald Trump raise the cost of energy imports, according to traders and analysts.

Russian oil supplies to the Czech Republic via the Druzhba pipeline were reported halted on Tuesday, with no immediate reason given and local refiner Unipetrol saying it had asked to tap state reserves.

Russia's oil and gas revenue declined by 18.4% in February to 771.3 billion roubles ($8.62 billion) from the same month a year ago, finance ministry data showed on Wednesday.
