    TSX futures jump as Fed’s big rate cut aids U.S. soft landing hopes

    (Reuters) – Futures for Canada’s main stock index jumped nearly 2% on Thursday, mirroring gains in U.S. equity futures, after the U.S. Federal Reserve’s outsized interest-rate cut raised hopes of a soft landing for the U.S. economy.

    The futures on the S&P/TSX index were up 1.9% at 7:26 a.m. ET (11:26 GMT).

    The composite index ended lower on Wednesday due to oil prices weighing on energy shares and profit booking by investors on recent market gains.

    Wall Street futures and global markets rallied on Thursday on the Fed’s half-point cut in interest-rate, which were at an over two-decade high. [.N]

    Policymakers said they see another 50-basis-point cut this year as inflation is near the Fed’s 2% goal, and as they seek to preempt further labor market weakness.

    Focus will be on the U.S. weekly jobless claims numbers at 08:30 a.m. ET, as it will help gauge the health of the labor market.
