June 22 (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a higher opening for Canada's main stock index on Thursday as oil prices recovered from multi-month lows after data showed U.S. crude and gasoline stockpiles fell.

September futures on the S&P TSX index SXFc1 were up 0.2 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET.

Retail sales data for April is due at 8:30 a.m. ET ECONCA .

Canada's benchmark stock index edged lower on Wednesday as a slump in oil prices pressured energy and financial shares, offsetting a rally in gold stocks as the U.S. dollar fell. Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures 1YMc1 were down 0.05 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET. S&P 500 e-mini futures ESc1 were down 0.07 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures NQc1 were down 0.06 percent. .N
