TSX futures fall ahead of U.S. data; Middle East conflict adds uncertainty
Oct 3 (Reuters) -Futures tied to Canada's main stock index fell on Thursday as investors remained cautious ahead of economic data from the United States, while a widening Middle East conflict added uncertainty to an anxious market.
December futures on the S&P/TSX index SXFcv1 were down 0.4% at 6:09 a.m. ET (1009 GMT).
Investors will evaluate U.S. weekly jobless claim numbers as well as the Institute for Supple Management's survey on the services sector's activity later in the day.
However, focus will remain on nonfarm payrolls data, expected later in the week, to gauge the health of the labor market and the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest rate-cut path.
