OPEC Increases Crude Oil Price By Nine Percent
OPEC ministers in Geneva approved a 9.05 percent rise in the base price of Arabian light crude to 14.55 per barrel effective April 1, with surcharges up to 4 per barrel allowed. The move lifts gasoline costs in the US by about two cents per gallon and aligns with a four-stage 14.5 percent increase planned by Oct. 1. Iran urged a larger 29 percent rise amid its export disruption from the revolution.
