The Australian sharemarket opened slightly higher, following a modestly upbeat lead from Wall Street overnight.
At the 10.15am (AEST) official market open, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index rose 17.9 points, or 0.33%, to 5,497.8 points, while the All Ordinaries index gained 17 points, or 0.31%, to 5,475.1 points.
US stocks closed higher as investors cheered a rebound in housing data. At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average inched up 10.02 points, or 0.06 per cent, to 16,543.08.
