OPEC Will Continue Unconstrained Oil Output for Six More Months

From Reuters:
Oil group OPEC agreed to stick by its policy of unconstrained output for another six months on Friday, setting aside warnings of a second lurch lower in prices as some members such as Iran look to ramp up exports. 
Concluding a meeting with no apparent dissent, Saudi Arabian oil minister Ali al-Naimi said OPEC had rolled over its current output ceiling, renewing support for the shock market treatment it doled out late last year when the world's top supplier said it would no longer cut output to keep prices high. 
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will meet again on Dec. 4, Naimi said.
