DUBAI/LONDON (Reuters) - OPEC is assessing the impact on the oil market from attacks on Saudi Arabian facilities and says it is too early for members to take any action on raising output or holding a meeting, the UAE energy minister and other sources said.
Oil surged on Monday to almost $72 a barrel, posting its biggest intra-day percentage gain since the Gulf War in 1991, after an attack on Saturday shut more than 5 million barrels per day (bpd) of output, or over 5% of global supply. [O/R]
