May 11 (Reuters) - Australian shares are set to slide
marginally on Thursday as domestic mining stocks are expected to
track weak commodity prices overnight, while April's inflation
print in the U.S. suggested the Federal Reserve might hike
interest rates further.
The local share price index futures fell 0.2%, a
5.7-point discount to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index close. The benchmark closed 0.1% lower on Wednesday.
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 0.3%
to 11947.6 in early trade.
