SYDNEY, May 3 (Reuters) - Australian shares are set to open higher on Tuesday, recouping losses from the previous session, although market sentiment may be dented by disappointing half-year results from Australia and New Zealand Banking Group ANZ.AX .
The local share price index futures YAPcm1 rose 0.2 percent to 5,235.0 - a 7.9-point premium to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index .AXJO close. The benchmark fell 0.18 percent on Monday.
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index .NZ50 was little changed in early trade.
