Seven OPEC members kept October output unchanged from September after a Sunday meeting. [1] OPEC posted the Sept. 6 statement. [1] Reuters had previewed the hold. [2] Wednesday has no new communique in fetched copy. A quiet Vienna is not a surprise cut. Print no new sheet. Do not print a quota vote.

This paper printed oil clearing 100 after five hulls. One hundred is a price, not a Vienna table. Leave a later touch to the edition that owns a later touch. Do not spend 107 on this clock. An unmapped zone is not a quota.

Print no new sheet. Wednesday is not a Vienna cut. Five hulls are sinkings, not a quota. Leave a named October 4 meeting to the edition that owns a named meeting. One hundred remains the Wednesday oil word, not a later touch.

An October 4 meeting on the calendar gives the silence an expiry date. Until then Sunday's freeze governs. Wednesday watches the diary, not the barrels.

Barrels wait on Sunday's freeze; Wednesday watches the diary. One hundred is the oil word. Five hulls aren't a quota.

Wednesday watches the diary, not the barrels. Five hulls aren't a quota. Sunday's freeze governs.
