          April 14 (Reuters) - Australian shares are poised for a
slight uptick on Monday, buoyed by rising oil and gold prices

limiting overall gains.
    The local share price index futures          rose 0.2%, a
31.5-point premium to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index
close. The benchmark closed 0.8% lower on Friday.
    New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index         rose 0.3%
to 12,057.9 points in early trade.
