July 16 (Reuters) - Australian shares are set to open largely unchanged on Tuesday, with likely gains by gold stocks on strong bullion prices expected to counter potential losses by local miners and oil firms on weak copper and oil prices globally.
The local share price index futures YAPcm1 fell 0.1%, a 19.6-point discount to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index (xjo) close. The benchmark ended 0.7% higher on Monday.
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index (nz50) inched 0.1% lower in early trade.
