SYDNEY - Australian stocks are set for a soft start on Wednesday following a negative lead from Wall Street and with lower oil prices likely to keep energy shares under pressure.

National Australia Bank's NAB.AX full-year results and third quarter inflation data due this morning will be closely watched. Price pressure is expected to be benign, giving the central bank room to cut interest rates if needed.

Stock index futures YAPcm1 fell 0.4 percent to 5,325.0, a 21.2-point discount to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index .AXJO . The benchmark closed a tad softer on Tuesday.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

In late trading, the dollar index .DXY was up 0.08 percent at 96.948, rebounding from an earlier low of 96.583.

BASE METALS

LONDON - Copper prices rose on Tuesday as expectations of a weaker dollar fuelled a short-covering rally, but gains are likely to be limited by technical levels and worries about slowing demand growth in top consumer China.
