Oil Prices Plunge After Opec Meeting -- BBC
The price of oil slumped after the Opec oil producers' cartel decided not to cut output at its meeting in Vienna.
Opec's secretary general Abdallah Salem el-Badri said they would not try to shore up prices by reducing production.
"There's a price decline. That does not mean that we should really rush and do something," he said.
