May 20 (Reuters) - Futures for Canada's main stock index
rose on Tuesday, as investors awaited updates on trade deals
ahead of domestic inflation data due later in the day.
June futures on the S&P/TSX index were up 0.3% at
6:13 a.m. ET (1013 GMT).
Investors will focus on the domestic consumer inflation
report scheduled for 8:30 am ET, just two weeks before the Bank
of Canada's next interest rate decision.
Canada's main stock index hit a record high on Friday,
logging a sixth consecutive weekly gain, as worries about a
global trade war eased after the U.S.-China tariff truce over
the weekend.
On Sunday, U.S. Vice President JD Vance discussed fair trade
policies with Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney in Rome,
Vance's office said in a statement, as the two nations try to
resolve a dispute over tariffs.
Later on Tuesday, finance leaders from the Group of Seven
industrialized democracies will meet in Canada. They will strive
for unity on non-tariff issues, but may have trouble reaching
consensus with a Trump administration intent on pushing allies
to serve U.S. interests.
In commodities, oil and gold prices fell on the day. Copper
prices in London were trading slightly lower.
