Futures for Canada's resource-heavy stock index fell 0.3% as metal prices continued to decline, following a significant drop in the previous session. The Toronto Stock Exchange's composite index experienced its largest decline since April, driven by falling gold prices and inflation data that reduced expectations for a Bank of Canada interest rate cut. Meanwhile, oil prices rose amid supply risks and trade deal hopes, while geopolitical uncertainties persisted. Market participants are awaiting key economic indicators, including U.S. consumer price index and Canadian retail sales figures.
