OPEC Split Signals Price War Amid Meeting Turmoil
World oil leaders clashed over pricing as Saudi Arabia and UAE pursued a 1 percent increase for at least six months while the majority of OPEC members pushed for an immediate 10 percent rise. Analysts warn Saudi leverage could force rivals into higher prices or trigger a discount race, complicating U.S. stockpile bidding plans and congressional approval. AT&T posted a 28 percent surge in quarterly earnings above $1 billion and outlined debentures repayment and $11.4 billion in 1978 capital spending, while GE agreed to acquire Utah International in a $2.2 billion stock swap, highlighting shifts in energy and telecommunications markets.
