Nov 8 (Reuters) - Futures tied to Canada's main stock

index slipped on Friday, hurt by losses in crude prices, while

investors shifted their focus to key domestic jobs data due

later in the day.

December futures on the S&P/TSX index were down

0.7% at 6:08 a.m. ET (11:08 GMT).

Canada's energy sector could come under pressure as oil

prices fell due to reduced concerns about a hurricane in the

Gulf of Mexico impacting U.S. oil and gas output.

The materials sector grabbed focus as gold prices fell, set

for their biggest weekly fall in over five months, as markets

assessed Trump's victory and its potential impact on the U.S.

interest rate trajectory.

Copper prices also fell as the top consumer China's latest

policy support came below market expectations.

Investors will closely watch Canada's October unemployment

rate at 8:30 a.m. ET to get possible clues on the Bank of

Canada's interest rate decision next month.

The top bank slashed its key policy rates by 50 basis points

last month, and traders see a 64% chance for a similar reduction

in December.

On Thursday, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by

a quarter of a percentage point, while also adding that Trump's

return would not have a "near-term" impact on monetary policy.

The composite index hit a record closing high on

Thursday as it extended its rally from a day before after Donald

Trump's victory.

Equities around the globe have mostly benefited this week

after Trump's reelection due to his proposed tax cuts and looser

regulations on corporations.

Back home, Lundin Mining ( LUNMF ) reported third-quarter

earnings below analysts' estimates.
