Nov 6 (Reuters) - Australian shares inched higher on Monday, helped by gains in gold and healthcare stocks, after softer-than-expected U.S. job growth cemented expectations that the Federal Reserve might be done hiking interest rates. The central bank is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points on Tuesday after keeping them on hold at its last four meetings, as inflation proves surprisingly strong, a Reuters Poll found. On the benchmark index, gold stocks .AXGD were the top percentage gainers with a rise of 3.5%, after bullion prices firmed on Friday following weak U.S. jobs data.
