The decision by OPEC that the output ceiling would remain unchanged has seen the price of Brent drop below $75 for the first time since 2010.
Here is just some of the reaction from around the world following that announcement in Vienna:
So OPEC doesn't bend. Last hopes of oil price surge fades away. #OPEC#Oil

So OPEC decides that there is little to be gained by trying to hold the price and go with long term bet. Not sure all members agree!

OPEC decided not to cut oil production and to further fight US shale oil producers. Let's see how down oil price goes and who dies first.

OPEC declares war on high cost oil producers! What does this mean for Alberta and US shale?

#OPEC leaves production quota unchanged. Market share wins. #Saudi shows the others who's boss. Tough luck #Venezuela, #Iran, and #Russia

OPEC's "no action" is similar to a global fiscal stimulus package. Citi had estimated USD1.1T stimulus from oil plunge (when Brent was $83)
