Commodities: Saudi Arabia Cuts Oil Prices for June

Saudi Arabia cut its main oil grade price for Asia next month from a record high in May, but the premium remains the second-highest on record. The move comes as the Middle East war continues to severely disrupt oil supplies, supporting elevated pricing despite the month-over-month cut. The news is relevant for oil markets and broader commodity pricing, with potential spillover into refining margins and import costs in Asia.
