Some analysts feel that there is enough geopolitical instability in oil-producing nations such as Iran and Nigeria for prices to rise again.

"Too much money has been lost on what-if scenarios," he said.

The president of Opec, Edmund Daukoru, told the Reuters news agency that the oil group's members were generally in favour of a further cut to output before the end of the year
