Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

Amid the biggest single-day drop in two months, WTI Crude has been hammered back to $40.05 once again as a cooling realization washes across the energy complex that Saudi Arabia will make no changes at this week’s OPEC meeting (delegate quoted as saying “OPEC unlikley to cut if non-OPEC is not cutting,”) leaving a grossly over-supplied (and over-leveraged Shale drillers) world to flounder…

And then this…

  • SENIOR OPEC DELEGATE SAYS OPEC UNLIKELY TO CUT IF NON-OPEC IS NOT CUTTING

  • The Iraqis do not seem happy:
  • *IRAQ MINISTER SAYS MARKET UNSTABLE, UNHAPPY ABOUT OIL PRICES
