April 11 (Reuters) - Australian shares were set to open
higher after a brief holiday period on Tuesday even as global
sentiment remained subdued after strong U.S. economic data
raised bets for another interest-rate hike next month.
The local share price index futures rose 0.1%, to a
29.0-point premium to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index close. The benchmark fell 0.3% on Thursday.
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 0.2%
in early trade.
