Middle East Crude-Benchmarks rise for a second session as oil steadies

SINGAPORE, May 28 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmarks Oman, Dubai and Murban rose for a second session on Wednesday, as oil prices held steady on Wednesday after the U.S. barred Chevron CVX.N from exporting crude from Venezuela.

The market, however, remains under supply pressure, with gains capped by an expected decision from OPEC+ later this week to increase production in July.
