OPEC expected to keep oil production steady at Vienna meeting.

OPEC ministers meet this weekend in Vienna with crude oil prices stubbornly high and analysts discounting the possibility that the powerful 11-nation cartel will cut production.

The meeting on Sunday is on the same day Iraqis go to the polls in historic, and possibly bloody elections, but an Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ source said the dates were a coincidence and no sort of political statement, even if the Iraqi minister has said he will not be coming to Vienna.
