What is the 'Organization Of Petroleum Exporting Countries - OPEC'. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a group consisting of 12 of the world's major oil-exporting nations. OPEC was founded in 1960 to coordinate the petroleum policies of its members, and to provide member states with technical and economic aid.
Oil is a commodity, and as such, it tends to see larger fluctuations in price than more stable investments such as stocks and bonds. OPEC, or the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, is the main influencer of fluctuations in oil prices.OPEC is a consortium made up of 13 countries: Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.PEC vowed to keep the price of oil above $100 a barrel for the foreseeable future, but in mid-2014, the price of oil began to tumble. It fell from a peak of above $100 a barrel to below $50 a barrel. OPEC was the major cause of cheap oil. It refused to cut oil production, leading to the tumble in oil prices.
