July 28 (Reuters) - Futures tracking Canada's blue-chip

stocks were muted on Tuesday, as investors assessed corporate

earnings and monitored developments in the Middle East conflict.

September futures tracking the resource-heavy S&P/TSX

Composite index were flat at 2,102.90 points at 6:22

a.m. ET.

Here are some details:

* Tech firms and real estate companies, including Celestica ( CLS )

and TFI International ( TFII ), beat second-quarter

adjusted earnings estimates amid a lineup of results by other

companies late on Monday.

hopes for a resolution to the U.S.-Iran conflict grew.

* Brent crude traded around $85.86, down 2.1%, while

West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 1.8% to $80.52 per

barrel.

* Gold prices also retreated against a firmer dollar, while

clues on the U.S. central bank's decision on interest rates.

Investors largely expect rates to be left unchanged this week.

* Spot gold fell 1.3%, while silver dropped

2.1%.

* In company news, oil and gas exploration firm Tamarack

higher oil prices.

Cardinal Energy, set to report quarterly results after

the bell.

* Separately, Brookfield has raised around $2

billion from strategic anchor investors, including Saudi

Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, for a private equity fund that

will invest in companies in the kingdom and wider Middle East.
