The Australian share market has risen in early trade following a strong overnight performance by US giants Amazon and Netflix and ahead of looming Chinese GDP data.

The S&P/ASX200 benchmark index was up 89.1 points, or 1.65 percent, at 5,505.4 points after 30 minutes of trade on April 17 after the major US indices climbed in volatile overnight trade.
