The Australian sharemarket appears headed for a weaker opening after investors shifted attention from an historic US election to the faltering US economy.

US stocks were down between two and three per cent overnight as gloomy jobs and services sector data hurt market sentiment. European shares also declined, snapping a six-day winning streak to finish 2.2 per cent weaker.

The Australian market will get a chance to react to yesterday's announcement by Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan that gross domestic product growth is expected to fall to two per cent in the 2009 financial year, with unemployment set to balloon to five per cent midway through the year.
