Iran says Opec ceiling stays
Iran's Opec governor Mohammad Ali Khatibi said the oil cartel will not consider any changes to its crude output ceiling increase given the high levels of oil inventory in consuming countries.
"Because oil has been stored in various parts of the world, Opec will not discuss its ceiling cut in its next meeting," Khatibi said in an interview with Mehr news today.
"Oil consumers have no problem with the price of $70 per barrel but if the price goes higher they may put pressure on Opec ... Iran is fully committed to its Opec quota."
