(Reuters) - Futures tied to Canada's main stock index slipped on Friday, hurt by losses in crude prices, while investors shifted their focus to key domestic jobs data due later in the day.

December futures on the S&P/TSX index were down 0.7% at 6:08 a.m. ET (11:08 GMT).

Investors will closely watch Canada's October unemployment rate at 8:30 a.m. ET to get possible clues on the Bank of Canada's interest rate decision next month.

The top bank slashed its key policy rates by 50 basis points last month, and traders see a 64% chance for a similar reduction in December.

On Thursday, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point, while also adding that Trump's return would not have a "near-term" impact on monetary policy.

The composite index hit a record closing high on Thursday as it extended its rally from a day before after Donald Trump's victory.

Equities around the globe have mostly benefited this week after Trump's reelection due to his proposed tax cuts and looser regulations on corporations.

Back home, Lundin Mining reported third-quarter earnings below analysts' estimates.
