OPEC Delays Dollar Decision Until June Conference
In Vienna OPEC ministers end a three day talk and plan to wait until June to decide if oil will be priced against a basket of currencies. The move, aimed at shielding oil revenues from dollar shifts, could raise oil prices in dollar terms if implemented. Amouzegar warns a stronger dollar or SDR-based pricing could alter the outcome, with a potential special session if the dollar declines. Details of a draft declaration for the Algiers summit March 4-6 are being finalized.
