Crude futures nearly unchanged on oPeC uncertainty

摘要

New York-Oil futures were mixed Tuesday as prices fluctuated sharply on speculation whether OPEC members reached consensus on the terms for a final production agreement that would limit the group’s output. Optimism that a two-day technical meeting would conclude Tuesday with a deal in hand led oil prices higher in early trading, but prices slipped on reports that the roles of Iraq and Iran remained unsolved.
