OPEC Fails to Agree on Oil Output Ceiling

The transcript discusses a recent OPEC meeting where Nigeria's Mohammed Barkindo was appointed as the new Secretary General, a decision that brought some unity among the OPEC nations. However, the meeting failed to reach an agreement on reinstating the production target, a key tool for influencing oil prices. This lack of consensus is seen as a weakness, contributing to a drop in oil prices. The ministers aim to resolve these issues in the next meeting scheduled for December.
