Futures slid as much as 0.7 percent in London, declining from the lowest close since September 2010. Saudi Arabia is committed to a stable market and speculation of a price war within the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries "has no basis in reality," Oil Minister Ali Al-Naimi said yesterday in Acapulco, Mexico.
