Local oil prices are anchored on the Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS), which refers to the calculation of average daily price assessments for a basket of crude and refined petroleum products traded in the Singapore market.
This pricing reference is widely used in Asia-Pacific markets because Singapore is a major hub for oil trading and refining in the region.
