Feb 6 (Reuters) - Futures tied to Canada's main stock

index rose on Thursday as oil prices edged higher, while

investors also focused on earnings from some major domestic

corporations.

March futures on the S&P/TSX index were up 0.3% at

6:40 a.m. ET (1140 GMT).

Oil prices increased after Saudi Arabia's

state oil company significantly raised its March crude prices.

Meanwhile, gold prices paused after a five-session

rally to all-time highs.

Canadian planemaker Bombardier reported a 1.5%

rise in quarterly revenue on aftermarket business strength and

delayed its 2025 forecast, citing uncertainty related to U.S.

President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Suncor Energy ( SU ) surpassed analysts' expectations for

fourth-quarter profit, benefiting from increased oil production

and robust sales of refined products.

Parka maker Canada Goose Holdings ( GOOS ) missed quarterly

revenue estimates, signaling choppy sales in the key luxury

goods market China.

Markets will also closely watch domestic employment and U.S.

payrolls data, set to be released on Friday, which could offer

clues on the policy rate trajectory in Canada and the United

States, respectively.

A reading of the Ivey Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for

the month of January is also due later in the day.

In other news, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with

Canadian business and labor leaders in Toronto on Friday. This

follows a pause on U.S. trade tariffs earlier this week.

The move underlined long-standing calls for measures to

reduce reliance on the United States, which takes 75% of all

Canada's goods and services exports.

The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index ended

higher on Wednesday, as the temporary relief from U.S. tariffs
