MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The average price of Russian oil brand Urals amounted to $58.03 per barrel from June 14 to July 15, while the Brent benchmark was trading at $76.05 per barrel, bringing the Russian oil's discount to $18.02 per barrel, the Russian Finance Ministry said on Monday.
"The average price of Urals oil from June 15 to July 14, 2023, was $58.03 per barrel, or $423.6 per tonne. North Sea Dated oil price for this period amounted to $76.05," the Ministry said on Telegram.
Russia is increasing duty on oil exports by $1.3 to $16.9 from August 1, the ministry added.
