Feb 19 (Reuters) - Stock futures suggested a lower opening
for Canada's main stock index on Friday as oil prices fell after
a record build in U.S. crude inventories last week stoked
concerns over persistent global oversupply.

million, data from the U.S. government's Energy Information
Administration (EIA) showed on Thursday.
March futures on the S&P TSX index SXFc1 were down 0.5
percent at 7:15 a.m. ET.
Inflation numbers and retail sales data are due at 8:30 a.m.
ET ECONCA .
Annual inflation rate is expected to have edged up slightly
in January to 1.7 percent from 1.6 percent in December. Last
month's annual core inflation rate is estimated at 1.9 percent,
same as the previous month. Meanwhile, retail sales in December
are predicted to have dropped by 0.6 percent from November.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index gained
for a fourth straight session on Thursday, sustaining a six-week
high, as gold, consumer and telecom stocks rose.
Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures 1YMc1 were
down 0.35 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures
