European stock index futures point to higher open

PARIS, June 10 (Reuters) - European stock index futures pointed to a higher start on Wednesday, as heavyweight resource-related stocks enjoy a rally in oil and metal prices. By 0605 GMT, futures for the DJ Euro Stoxx STXEc1, for Germany's DAX FDXc1 and for France's CAC FCEc1 were up 1.1-1.3 percent. Crude oil prices CLc1 raced towards $71 a barrel on Wednesday, after settling above $70 for the first time in seven months on a larger-than-expected fall in crude oil stocks and a forecast that falling oil demand may have bottomed.
