* Several days of Labour Day holidays was pausing buying
activity in China, slowing the relatively quick start to trade
there for June-loading crude, especially from Angola.
* Angola's state oil company Sonangol last offered a cargo
of Kissanje crude at dated Brent plus $1.20
* Official Selling Prices (OSPs) for Nigerian crude in May
emerged, with slides largely downward to reflect stiff
competition in sales to Europe from the United States and
reduced demand from French refinery strikes.
* Offers levels for June-loading cargoes were roughly
steady from last week, with Bonny Light offered at dated Brent
plus $1.30.
* Indonesia's Pertamina closed an offer for term cargoes
for one month each beginning in July and ending in September,
but results had yet to emerge.
