Sept 25 (Reuters) - Futures linked to Canada's main

stock index were subdued on Thursday, after the index pulled

back from recent record highs and investors took a breather as

the end of the quarter approached.

Futures for the S&P/TSX index were flat at

1,760.60 points by 6:33 a.m. ET (1033 GMT), after two straight

sessions of declines.

However, the benchmark index was still on track for a 10.8%

gain for the third quarter, which would be its fifth straight

quarterly advance.

Meanwhile, Canada planned to create duty-free access for up

to 95% of its exports to Indonesia over the next eight to 12

months, the International Trade Minister said, as Canada

attempts to diversify its trading partners.

In corporate news, Lithium Americas' ( LAC )

U.S.-listed shares rose 24% premarket, having jumped more than

90% in the previous session, after Reuters reported that the

Trump administration was seeking up to a 10% stake in the

company.

Air Canada ( ACDVF ) said it expected a hit of C$375 million

($269.82 million) to its operating income from labour

disruptions, after its flight attendants went on a four-day

strike in August.

In commodities, gold rose on safe-haven demand, while

copper hit a fresh 15-month high amid supply fears. Oil

prices edged lower.

On the slate for the day are the commentary from U.S.

Federal Reserve officials and results from cybersecurity firm

BlackBerry.

Investors will also await Friday's domestic GDP data and

U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, the Fed's

preferred inflation gauge, for hints on monetary policy on both

sides of the border.
