Share prices opened higher with the Straits Times Index up 5.73 points to 3,304.09.  Asian equity markets rallied, while oil prices enjoyed a rare fillip following a surge in New York and Europe on strong US data and expectations for fresh euro zone stimulus measures. Brent crude extended gains to hold above US$51 a barrel, after an unexpected fall in US crude stocks snapped a 4-session decline the previous day. High for the day was marked at 3347 and low at 3299.
