OPEC Ends Winter Meeting Without Oil Price Accord
In Caracas the OPEC meeting concluded with no agreement on new crude prices. Venezuela’s Humberto Calderon noted no price fix and left open to market developments next year. Ecuador’s Jose Corio Cardenas echoed the same stance as prior talks. A.K. Hart had suggested possible price limits but any cap would not hold if demand surges. The bottom price was seen near 24 dollars a barrel, six dollars above last June’s minimum.
