Oil Slides: OPEC “Deal” Suddenly In Jeopardy

Earlier today, oil spiked and pushed stocks to new all time highs, after the Nigerian OPEC delegate Ibrahim Waya said that not only is “everyone on board” ahead of the November 30 Vienna cartel summit, but that he expected details of the output accord would be finalized today.
That, however, was put in question later in the morning when OPEC members said that Iran, Iraq and Indonesia were all said to have “reservations” about a proposed 4.5% production cut. Worse, according to the news, it appeared as if Iran would not be part of the exempt from production cuts group at all, contrary to the Algiers agreement, suggesting that Saudi Arabia had changed its mind once again.
