OPEC to Raise Oil Price 10 Percent and Freeze
Vienna reports that OPEC plans a 10 percent oil price increase effective October 1 followed by a nine month freeze. Venezuela’s Valentin Hernandez Acosta cites a new price of 11.51 dollars per barrel from 10.46. U.S. motorists may pay about one cent more per gallon if passed on.
