Aramco is increasing the price of the Arab Light class by 50 cents in September. The current price is the highest ever. Remarkably, this decision came one day after OPEC+'s lowest oil production increase.

Aramco's monthly decisions are seen as a "bell" for the oil market, and they are often followed by similar moves from other major Gulf producers. In other words, we can expect similar cost increases from other producers.
