    DateFriday, May 29, 2009 at 10:13AM

    “The market is oversupplied, it’s true,” Abdalla Salem el-Badri, the OPEC secretary general, told a news conference afterward, saying the group had decided against cutting output to avoid sending the “wrong signal” and disrupting an economic recovery. “If we are able to keep this $60 to $70 price for the remainder of the year, it will be fine,” he said in a Bloomberg Television interview.
