Australia shares set to inch higher, NZ dips

Oct 13 (Reuters) — Australian shares were set to open up slightly on Tuesday as higher copper prices lifted miners, with weaker gold stocks likely limiting gains while investors braced for the minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia's September meeting. The local share price index futures rose 0.1%, a 28.8-point premium to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index close. The benchmark rose 0.8% on Monday. New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 0.2% to 13,797.48 points by 2124 GMT.
