TSX futures slip as investors await domestic inflation data
Oct 15 (Reuters) -Futures tied to Canada's main stock index fell on Tuesday due to lower crude prices, with investors returning from a long weekend and adopting a cautious tone ahead of key domestic inflation data.
December futures on the S&P/TSX index SXFcv1 were down 0.3% at 6:01 a.m. ET (10:01 GMT).
All eyes were on Canada's consumer price index data (CPI), due at 08:30 a.m. ET, which could give investors signals about the magnitude of the central bank's interest rate cut at its policy meeting on October 23.
The data is expected to show that the annual inflation rate cooled to 1.8% in September, below the Bank of Canada's target of 2%, which it had managed to maintain in August.
Traders currently see a 47.2% chance for a hefty 50-basis point cut, while bets for a quarter-point reduction stand at 52.8%. 0#BOCWATCH
The top bank has already cut rates three times this year, and at its September policy meeting, it stressed the need to prevent inflation from falling too much due to weak economic growth.
