Nov 16 (Reuters) - Canada stock futures fell on Wednesday, along with oil prices as industry data showed an unexpected build in U.S. crude stocks in the previous week.
December futures on the S&P TSX index SXFc1 were down 0.36 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET.
Crude oil prices dropped more than 1 percent, returning some of the gains made in one of the year's biggest rallies a day earlier.
That had helped Canada's main stock index notch its biggest gain since September on Tuesday. Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures 1YMc1 were down 0.25 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures ESc1 were down 0.34 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures NQc1 were down 0.35 percent. .N
Canadian manufacturing sales slipped 0.1 percent in September after increasing 0.9 percent in August, a report due at 8:30 a.m. ET is expected to show. ECONCA
