CANADA STOCKS-TSX futures inch up as commodity prices rise

June 2 (Reuters) - Futures tied to Canada's main stock index edged higher on Monday despite lingering tariff-led uncertainty, helped by gains in commodity shares.

The S&P/TSX index futures SXFcv1 were up 0.2% at 6:13 am ET (1013 GMT).

Gold prices rose more than 1% and oil prices rebounded more than $1 a barrel. Copper prices also gained.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he planned to increase tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to 50% from 25% starting Wednesday.

The levies add to the existing tariffs on steel and aluminum that Trump imposed when he came to power in January, deepening the global trade war.

Meanwhile, data showed on Friday that Canada's economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.2% in the first quarter, beating estimates of a 1.7% gain.

The spotlight this week will be on the Bank of Canada's interest rate decision due on Wednesday and the Canadian employment report, expected Friday.

Comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will be on tap later in the day.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday interest rate cuts remain possible for later this year, even with the Trump administration's tariffs likely to push up price pressures temporarily.

Canada's main stock index fell on Friday as energy and metal mining shares lost ground. The index still posted its biggest monthly rise since November, helped by easing global trade tensions.
