Nov 11 (Reuters) - Australian shares on track to open slightly lower after gold and oil prices slip on global oversupply concerns.

Most markets shrugged off post-election losses but oil markets remained under pressure as doubts remain over OPEC's ability to implement output cap.

The local share price index futures YAPcm1 fell 0.1 percent, or 4 points, to 5,336, a 7.2-point premium to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index .AXJO close. The benchmark ended 3.3 percent higher on Thursday. New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index .NZ50 gained marginally to 0.7 percent, or 48.720 points at 6,782.440 in early trade.
