SINGAPORE, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmarks of Oman, Dubai and Murban gained on Tuesday, with the market underpinned by enhanced buying from India for near-term supply as the country lowered its Russian oil purchase.
Meanwhile, investors were weighing the possibility that talks between Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. to end the war in Ukraine could lead to the lifting of sanctions on Russian crude, raising supply.
