April 4 (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a higher
opening for Canada's main stock index on Monday as oil prices
reversed earlier losses.

percent at 7:35 a.m. ET.
No major economic events are scheduled for the day.
Canada's main stock index fell on Friday, dragged down by a
7.6 percent drop in BlackBerry Ltd BB.TO shares on
disappointing earnings and a slump in oil prices that hurt
energy companies.

0.20 percent at 7:35 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures
