Wall Street also opened higher, with the Dow ahead 48.42 points to 13,461.93, the Nasdaq 8.79 points higher at 3,102.49 and the broader S&P 500 up 5.73 points at 1,439.05.
The benchmark New York oil contract was ahead $1.09 at US$91.07 a barrel, the December gold contract added $12.40 to US$1,766 an ounce and the December copper contract rose two cents to US$3.73 a pound.
