On the global front, US indices ended higher as gains in key technology stocks supported. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.56 and 0.26 per cent higher, respectively. The Nasdaq Composite ended 0.78 per cent higher.

In commodities, Oil prices eased in early Asia trade on Thursday, following the previous day's 4% jump, as investors assessed efforts by the U.S. and Iran to resolve tensions while both sides have stepped up military activity in the key oil-producing region.
