UPDATE 1-No emergency OPEC meeting if oil at $100 - Kuwait | Energy & Oil | Reuters

OPEC will not call for an emergency meeting before its scheduled gathering in June 2011 if the price of crude oil hits $100 a barrel, Kuwait's oil minister told reporters on Tuesday.

Asked whether the oil producing group would hold an emergency meeting if oil prices, near $90 a barrel currently, hit $100 a barrel, Sheikh Ahmad al-Abdullah al-Sabah said: 'No.'

Oil was steady above $89 on Tuesday, with U.S. crude for February CLc1 gaining 12 cents to $89.37 a barrel by 1005 GMT after trading as high as $89.67 at the start of the trading session.
