US Cash Crude-Coastal grades weaken on final day of roll trade

July 25 (Reuters) - Cash price differentials for coastal U.S. crude grades weakened on Friday, dealers said, on the final day of the roll trade period.

The three-day roll trade period begins on the session after the expiration of the front-month U.S. crude futures contract CLc1. Traders use it to square positions.

Coastal grades Light Louisiana Sweet WTC-LLS and Mars Sour WTC-MRS weakened on Friday despite indications of tightening U.S. supplies.

U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil rigs by seven to 415 this week, their lowest since September 2021, energy services firm Baker Hughes BKR.O said.

Oil futures eased to settle at a three-week low as traders worried about negative economic news from the U.S. and China and signs of growing supply. O/R

U.S. oil refiners are expected to have about 171,000 barrels per day of capacity offline in the week ending July 25, increasing available refining capacity by 74,000 bpd, research company IIR Energy said.
