PARIS | Mon Nov 23, 2009 2:03am EST

PARIS Nov 23 (Reuters) - European stock index futures pointed to a higher open on Monday, as equities were poised to bounce back from a two-week closing low hit in the previous session, supported by buoyant oil and metal prices.

By 0702 GMT, futures for the DJ Euro Stoxx STXEc1, for Germany's DAX FDXc1 and for France's CAC FCEc1 were up 1.0-1.1 percent.
