Australian shares likely to open flat; NZ down

By Reuters News

- Australian shares were set to open largely unchanged on Tuesday, with potential gains in miners from firmer commodity prices set to counter higher oil price-driven losses in energy stocks, ahead of Wednesday's key inflation data.

The local share price index futures fell 0.1%, an 11.1-point premium to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index .AXJO close. The benchmark rose 0.2% on Monday.

New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index .NZ50 fell 0.2% in early trade.
