Oil was more than 5 per cent higher, rising towards $US91 a barrel as concerns about the conflict between Israel and Hamas widening to include Iran flared. Gold surged more than 4 per cent back above $US1900 an ounce.

Back home, Gift Nifty is trading flat to positive while US Future gained up to 0.2%. Market trend will be determined by Geo- political factor, oil price and quarterly results.
