The Australian stock market is expected to open lower, tracking a decline on Wall Street overnight as energy shares were hammered by sharply lower oil prices.
US crude prices dropped more than nine per cent to $US36 a barrel, as slumping demand and swelling US inventories offset OPEC's record supply cut agreement.
Elsewhere in commodities, precious metals and copper in New York also were down.

The Australian share market is set to open the week stronger after US stocks defied the uncertainty surrounding the fate of US carmakers, ending 0.75 per cent higher.
With the $14 billion auto bailout running into a senate roadblock, White House jumped into the fray, saying it may provide emergency funding to the struggling auto industry, helping Wall St stage a comeback.
However, the local market's positive momentum may be checked by weakness in European and Asian markets, which plummeted on Friday.

A large cut in interest rates by the Reserve Bank of Australia is expected at 1430 AEDT, which the market could draw support from, but not before a six per cent dive in Europe and a five per cent fall in the US are factored it.
US stocks plunged on fears that the US economy had finally tipped into recession, with US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke presenting a grim assessment of the US economy.
European stocks fell as mounting concerns about a prolonged global slowdown and weaker demand for oil and metals hurt market sentiment.
