ASX to rise, S&P 500 lifts on tech

Australian shares are poised to open higher, tracking a broad advance on Wall Street even as oil topped $US91 a barrel, its highest since early June, amid renewed US-Iran hostilities.

ASX 200 futures were up 21 points or 0.2 per cent to 8763. The S&P 500 was 0.9 per cent higher in New York as information tech paced gains in nine of the benchmark’s 11 industry sectors.
