[AAP] – The Australian share market has jumped nearly one per cent in early trade on the back of positive news for the energy sector after OPEC struck a deal to limit crude output. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index was up 0.9 per cent after the first half hour of trade, with gains dominated by the energy sector, but also reflected in mining and banking shares. “The gains were expected and one sector seems to be doing the heavy lifting,” CommSec market analyst Steven Daghlian said.
