Saudis Call For Six Month Oil Price Freeze
Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani of Saudi Arabia announced in Doha that Saudi Arabia will seek a six month freeze on oil prices at current levels. He noted OPEC members largely favor a price increase but said Saudi Arabia will not raise until six months pass, signaling a shift from a planned modest rise. Qatar's oil minister Sheik Abdulaziz Bin Khalifa al Thani also stated a price increase is likely as Western prices have not been revised amid inflation pressures.
