Canada stock futures indicate higher start for TSX

[December 04, 2017]  (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a higher opening for Canada's main stock index on Monday, tracking gains in U.S. futures following the approval of a wide-ranging tax overhaul by the Senate.

December futures on the S&P TSX index <SXFc1> were up 0.55 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET.

Canada's main stock index slipped on Friday, weighed down by losses among some gold miners, technology, telecom and consumer names which offset gains for energy companies as oil prices rose and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's <CM.TO> extended post-earnings rally.

Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures <1YMc1> were up 0.94 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures <ESc1> were up 0.61 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures <NQc1> were up 0.42 percent. [.N]
