Feb 14 (Reuters) - Australian shares were expected to
open higher on Tuesday, in tandem with global sentiment as
market participants expect a favorable reading from key U.S.
economic data due later today, likely to indicate a slowdown in
inflation.
The local share price index futures rose 0.7%, a
18.8-point discount to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index close. The benchmark fell 0.2% on Monday.
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 0.2%
to 12,095.7 points in early trade.
