TSX futures subdued ahead of Fed interest-rate decision
Sept 18 (Reuters) -Futures tied to Canada's main stock index were muted on Wednesday, as investors remained cautious about the size of an interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve later in the day.
The futures on the S&P/TSX index SXFcv1 were down 0.06% at 6:00 a.m. ET (10:00 GMT).
The U.S. Fed's policy decision is due at 1400 ET, and the central bank is almost certainly expected to announce its first interest rate cut in more than four years.
