    Bloomberg reported that the premiums for U.S. Gulf Coast oils weakened as West Texas Intermediate crude’s discount to Brent oil narrowed.

    As quoted in the market news:

    The gap between WTI and Brent December contracts weakened 92 cents to $22.62 at settlement. The spread for prompt month contracts settled at a record $27.88 a barrel Oct. 14. When Brent decreases versus WTI, it weakens the value of low-sulfur U.S. grades that compete with West African oil priced against the European benchmark.

    Heavy Louisiana Sweet’s premium to WTI narrowed $2.20 to $25.40 a barrel while Light Louisiana Sweet lost $2 to $25.50 above the U.S. benchmark.Among sour, or high-sulfur, grades, the premium for Mars Blend decreased $2.15 to $21.10 a barrel and Poseidon lost $4.10 to $19 a barrel over WTI.
