CANADA STOCKS-Futures lower on rising U.S. yields, cost worries

By Kitco News / April 25, 2018 / www.kitco.com / Article Link

April 25 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index was set to open lower on Wednesday, tracking losses in global shares, due to rising U.S. bond yields and warnings from top global companies about increasing costs.

June futures on the S&P TSX index were down 0.11 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET.

Canada's main stock index fell on Tuesday as lower oil prices weighed on energy shares, while investors worried about the prospect of higher global borrowing costs after the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note yield hit 3 percent for the first time in four years.

Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures were down 0.38 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures fell 0.44 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures were 0.49 percent lower.
