OPEC oil price at lowest level in four months
英语课
VIENNA, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- Monthly average prices of the Organization of Petroleum 1 Exporting Countries (OPEC) dropped to 105.47 U.S. dollars per barrel in the past month, the Vienna-based cartel said Tuesday.
It was the second consecutive 2 monthly decline and also the lowest Monthly OPEC Basket Price in four months.
The drop was considered to be impacted by a forecast of weak global oil demand due to the decline of short-term world economic growth.
The Conference Board, a research group headquartered in New York, on Tuesday issued its latest report projecting that the world economy would stand at a slow 3.2 percent for 2012, and slow further to 3.0 percent in 2013.
Growth in developing and emerging economies, which are considered to be influential 3 oil consumers, was projected to drop from 5.5 percent in 2012 to 4.7 percent in 2013.
