Saudis deny planned cut in oil output amid market gains
Saudi oil minister Sheik Ahmad Zaki Yamani said Riyadh has no intention of reducing production despite reports of 10.3 million barrels per day. After talks with oil chiefs from Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE, he argued the world market is in good shape with Iran and Iraq resuming exports. OPEC meets May 25 in Geneva, where officials anticipate possible price rises to align with other producers. A deputy minister suggested a $4 per barrel increase to $36 could be implemented in one or two steps.

Chicago infant mortality worsens from nation’s best to above average
In 1978 Chicago’s overall infant death rate was 21.3 per 1,000 live births, above the national average of 13.8, with nonwhite infants at 26.6 and whites at 15.6 per 1,000. Health officials call the disparity a scandal amid concerns over hospital deliveries and pregnant women’s access to care.
