Feb 10 (Reuters) - Australian shares are set to open
lower on Friday, tracking losses on Wall Street as investors
continue to assess the U.S. Federal Reserve's stance on interest
rates, while a likely drag on local gold and energy stocks could
further burden the index.
The local share price index futures fell 0.4%, a
103.3-points discount to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index close. The benchmark fell 0.5% on Thursday.
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 0.1%
to 12,111.22-points during early trade.
