Energy: good news at pump sparks OPEC to tighten the oil valve

In direct reaction to falling oil prices, OPEC member nations have agreed among themselves to tighten its output by four percent in coming weeks.

This according to a Forbes story, which described that US Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman is pressuring OPEC to keep the pipelines open.

Oil fell to less than $60 a barrel earlier in the week, quite a dip from the $78 plus from mid July. OPEC seeks to maintain prices of $50+.
