QUITO, Ecuador – OPEC announced Saturday that it will not change oil output, amid prices just below $90 per barrel and global economic uncertainty. The decision of the 12-member cartel was announced by outgoing OPEC President and Ecuadorean Oil Minister Wilson Pastor. There was much discussion before the meeting about whether oil would soon broach the psychological price barrier of $100. Oil minister Ali Naimi of Saudi Arabia, OPEC's biggest producer, told reporters prior to the closed-door meeting that he sees no need to increase production. "The market is in balance and is stable," he said. "The fundamentals are good." He said he was comfortable with a price range of $70 to $80 a barrel. Venezuela's minister, Rafael Ramirez, said he thought oil was headed for $100 a barrel, a price he said his country considers "proper." The "no-change" announcement was widely anticipated by experts, who expected little from the meeting. Four of the cartel's ministers — from Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar and Nigeria — did not even make the trip, sending lower-level delegates to this Andean capital. OPEC, which is responsible for 35 percent of global oil production, has not changed its output quotas since late 2008. Last month, Naimi said oil from $70 to $90 per barrel was tolerable for consumers. The 50-year-old cartel has had a good year, with prices hovering in the mid-$80 range and profits up 32 percent over 2009 to $750 billion, according to U.S. Energy Department estimates. OPEC does not release profit numbers. Oil reached a two-year high of nearly $91 on Tuesday — as traders gauged the dimensions of 2011 demand and responded to a particularly harsh onset of winter in Europe. The Paris-based International Energy Agency, or IEA, said Friday that stronger-than-anticipated consumption next year in North America and emerging Asian economies led by China could compel OPEC to boost supply "if prices continue their relentless rise." Issuing its global oil demand forecast, the IEA said it anticipated a rise in demand next year to 88.8 million barrels a day, 260,000 daily barrels more than previously forecast. OPEC's monthly market report, released Friday, forecast a boost in demand of 1.2 million barrels per day in 2011 over this year's levels to an average of 87.1 million. IEA said it expected "quick agreement" from the OPEC ministers to maintain current output targets. While ministers expect demand for crude to continue to grow, "At this moment, demand is not good," Iran's oil minister, Masoud Mir-Kazem, told reporters as Saturday's closed-door meeting was about to begin. Analyst David Kirsch of PFC Energy in Washington agreed, citing current healthy inventories and continuing global economic uncertainty. "If demand does turns out to be stronger than they've expected, there is still a safety cushion out there and they can come back later and increase production," he told The Associated Press. "Or more likely, what happens is that individual members cheat." Oil supplies in major industrialized nations and China are currently well above normal, and while OPEC forecast a demand boost in North America and China in the monthly market report it published Friday it believes western Europe's festering debt crisis will dampen consumption there. OPEC last changed output in late 2008 when it capped a record series of cuts to help boost prices that had plummeted with the global financial meltdown. Some analysts believe conditions are now conspiring against much more upward pressure on prices as the effects wear off from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank's decision to issue and buy up to $2.3 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds. The post-meltdown move — essentially printing money — made U.S. exports cheaper abroad and boosted the price of oil. It also encouraged the Chinese to buy and store more oil. Many analysts believes $100 a barrel for oil is inevitable in 2011 though it could well take months. "Everyone is worked up about $100 a barrel," said Barbara Shook, a Houston-based analyst with the Energy Intelligence Group. It's a psychological number. A hundred-dollar oil means that you've got $3 gasoline at every market in the U.S. "And that's another tipping point. It could drop consumption, decrease discretionary driving, things like that," she added. Ecuador, which rejoined OPEC in 2007 after 15-year absence, holds the rotating presidency this year. Iran will take over for 2011. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101211/ap_on_bi_ge/lt_ecuador_opec

Good post As far as Iraq is concerned, i'm hoping it's the domino effect. Once the GOI is settled, and the currency becomes worth something, all it will take is a few companies taking the lead , then everyone else will come a runnin Security will be an ongoing process. When the money stars flowing, Iraq and the US will do what needs to be done Corruption is another hornets nest. Thats the cost of doing business in the ME Afghanistan? See ya in 3 to 6 years Thanks for the post Semper Fi

Friday, December 10, 2010 11:00 GMT The National Alliance rejected the draft law of the national policy council submitted by Al Iraqiya List. National Alliance MP Abbas Al Bayati believes that the draft law of the national policy council represents the view of Al Iraqiya List. The different political parties should not be bound by the draft law which represents high demands, Al Bayati said. إقرأ هذا المقال باللغة بالعربية Already posted My bad

Ok i'll bite...... I'm thinking about buying it myself but had a few questions When was it published? Is it updated? If not, hasn't alot happened since the publishing of the book? Is it mostly for post RV? I know there are alot of questions now as far as cashing in, if and when the RV happens, but i thought that was addressed in the Cash In Guide Another words, how pertinent is it today? Thanks

Good, bad or indifferent........... Thanks for everything you brought to this IQD journey Phoenix! Good luck in your future endeavors Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you and your family Semper Fi

So what if it goes beyond Dec 31st These next 2 weeks will be interesing Our next benchmark is the 15th. With all the big players addressing Parliament on that date we should know where we stand It's funny how when the 15th became the next benchmark, people started whining about wanting it now instead of waiting for that date Let the GOI form! I'd hate to see some of these people in any further investments Merry Christmas everyone Semper Fi p.s I'm not talking about people posting here, but the chat room was childish

That was cool! Thanks

DAMN Another Debbie Downer moment huh? Oh well, thanks for the post 1 day they'll ring the bell Semper Fi

Excellent! Thats the purpose of a forum! I'll admit that i look at the CBI everyday and did not notice the decimal movement, and to be honest, didn't notice it in the original post And then Nicovetter71 pops in and points it out. Thats why we read the forums. I get so tunneled visioned at times and it's great to have others on here pointing out the obvious Thanks for all the contributions! Semper Fi

Started out as a good post and following threads Then all the BS started! As soon as Joe and Phoenix actually started discussing the freezing aspect of currencies, the BS started again. UNREAL Keep an eye on whats ahead, not personal conflicts Not 1 thing was being pumped Thanks Joe and Phoenix Semper Fi

You can take 10 people and come up with 10 different equations as to what the value of the IQD will be on a RV All 10 could be and probably will be wrong Think low, hope high and let it come to us It will be what it will be Enjoy.....it's almost over Semper Fi

Thanks Doc. Much appreciated with what your doing for us I'll take your analysis over a rumor anyday! Have a great Sunday Semper Fi

More international support. Gotta be good Plus Germany was the big dog in NOT going with Obama for the "world stimulus" and went their own route As i recall they pretty much followed what Ronald Regan did in the 80's and now their economy is alot better than others Maybe the Iraqis know more than we give them credit for Thanks for the post JMO Semper Fi

Most informative read in awhile! Per the GOI assesment, Maliki has 3 more positions to fill if i read it right What happened to Allawi's position? Is it not part of the GOI? I know he wanted MOF but looks like Maliki has his color code positioned for it That was a fun read! Thanks again Smper Fi
