Oil falls as OPEC expected to shun any output curbs

By Simon Falush LONDON (Reuters) - Oil prices fell on Wednesday on expectations of OPEC inaction on output as its focus stays firmly on market share, while concerns about China's economy weighed on the demand outlook. Brent crude was at $49.05 per barrel at 0944 GMT (5.44 a.m. ET), down 84 cents. Analysts said OPEC would continue to focus on defending market share instead of propping up prices by curbing output.
