July 10 (Reuters) - Canadian stock futures pointed to a lower opening on Monday as oil prices fell further, adding to heavy losses at the end of last week.
September futures on the S&P TSX index SXFc1 were down 0.08 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET.
Oil prices fell on Monday even as OPEC signaled it may widen its production caps to include Nigeria and Libya.
Canada's main stock index fell to its weakest in more than seven months on Friday as risk appetite waned on the back of North American jobs data that supported rate-hike expectations in Canada and the United States, while higher bond yields and a slide in oil prices further dented sentiment. Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures 1YMc1 were down 0.06 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures ESc1 were up 0.07 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures NQc1 were down 0.29 percent. .N
