* TSX futures down 0.2%
* Oil rises, gold slips
May 11 (Reuters) - Futures for Canada's main stock index
edged lower on Monday as U.S. President Donald Trump's rejection
of Iran's response to a peace proposal left global markets
worrying that the 10-week-old conflict will drag on.
June futures on the S&P/TSX index were down 0.2% at
6:08 a.m. ET (1008 GMT).
* Days after the United States floated an offer in hopes of
reopening negotiations, Iran released a response on Sunday that
focused on ending the war on all fronts. Within hours, Trump
dismissed Iran's proposal in a post on Truth Social, saying "I
don't like it - TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE."
* Oil prices rallied on supply fears after the news, with
the Strait of Hormuz remaining largely closed and global markets
staying tight.
* Spot gold fell 1.1% on elevated concerns that
inflation could keep interest rates higher for longer.
* The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX Composite Index
rose to a near three-week high on Friday as investors
cheered recent growth in corporate earnings and after
weaker-than-expected domestic jobs data tempered for interest
rate hikes.
* On the earnings front, building materials distributor
Doman's first-quarter revenue missed analyst
expectations on Friday because of weak plywood demand.
* Gold miner Barrick Mining ( B ) on Monday beat Wall
Street estimates for first-quarter profit as higher gold prices
offset lower production.
