( dpa ) - The price for crude oil produced by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) continued its slide downwards at the weekend.
One barrel ( 159 litres) of OPEC-produced crude stood at 88.50 dollars on Friday, down 1.36 dollars from the previous day, the Vienna-based OPEC Secretariat said on Monday.
The organization calculates an average basket price based on 12 important brands produced by cartel members.
