Nov 16 (Reuters) - Australian shares are likely to track
their Wall Street peers higher on Friday after reports of
possible leeway in the Sino-U.S. trade standoff helped risk
appetite.
The local share price index futures rose 15 points
to 5,762.0, a 26-point premium to the underlying S&P/ASX 200
index close, which ended relatively flat on Thursday.
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose around
0.2 percent in early trade.
