NEW YORK, Nov 9 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures pointed to a 1 percent gain at the open on Monday as investors took comfort from a pledge by the Group of 20 to keep economic stimulus in place until a recovery was reassured.

Finance ministers and central bankers of the G20 agreed on Saturday to keep the aid flowing until a economic recovery was sustainable. For details, see [ID:nLQ516726]

Global stocks rose on the news, while the dollar fell broadly as high-yielding and commodity-linked currencies benefited from the renewed risk-taking sentiment. [ID:nL9362990]

"Cheap money continues to fuel the rush into stocks, not just in the U.S., but on a global scale (after G20)," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Avalon Partners in New York.
