SINGAPORE, June 25 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmarks Oman and Dubai extended declines to their lowest in nearly two weeks on Wednesday as previous supply fears fanned by Middle East tensions eased by some extent.
The ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump between Iran and Israel appeared to be holding on Wednesday a day after both countries signalled that their air war had ended, at least for now.
However, the uncertainty still set market players on the sidelines, resulting in thin trading.
