TSX futures edge higher ahead of GDP data

written by November 29, 2024

(Reuters) – Futures tied to Canada’s main stock index edged higher on Friday in thin trading volumes, while investors looked forward to the day’s key economic data to gauge the pace of the Bank of Canada’s interest-rate cuts.

December futures on the S&P/TSX index were up 0.1% at 6:06 a.m. ET (11:06 GMT).

The U.S. equity market reopened for half a day following the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, with limited trading volumes expected throughout the day.

All eyes will be on Canada’s third-quarter gross domestic product report, due at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists forecast growth slowing to an annualized rate of 1%, lower than the Canadian central bank’s estimate of 1.5%.

The country’s economy has buckled under the pressure of high borrowing costs. The top bank has already delivered four rate cuts in a row this year to spur growth.

Traders widely expect a 25-basis-point rate cut at the BoC’s rate-setting meeting next month.

The composite index, which closed at a record high on Thursday due to gains for energy and industrial shares, is on track to log its fifth consecutive monthly rise.
