Australia shares set to open higher on U.S.-China talks, NZ flat


    Feb 12 (Reuters) - Australian shares are likely to open

are also expected to boost the benchmark.
    The local share price index futures          rose 0.217

underlying S&P/ASX 200 index         close. The benchmark fell
10.7 points to 6,060.80 on Monday.
    New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index         fell 0.06
percent, or 5.38 points to 9,204.62 in early trade.
