Feb 27 (Reuters) - Futures for Canada's main stock index slipped on Friday as gold prices retreated, while futures for Wall Street indexes also traded lower.

March futures on the S&P/TSX composite index SXFcv1 fell 0.15%, as of 5:45 a.m. ET.

Spot gold XAU= declined 0.2%, but was on track for a seventh straight month of gains as uncertainty over U.S. tariff policies and tensions between the U.S. and Iran boosted safe-haven demand. Silver XAG= gained 1.3%, and copper prices also firmed.

Futures for U.S. stock indexes also fell, with S&P 500 E-minis EScv1 and Nasdaq 100 E-minis NQcv1 down 0.3% and 0.22%, respectively.

Toronto's benchmark index .GSPTSE on Thursday closed at a record high for a third straight session, as stronger-than-expected earnings for banks boosted financials, while miners also gained on firm gold prices. The index is on track to log its longest monthly winning streak since April 2017.

Oil prices rose on Friday and were heading for monthly gains as supply uncertainty lingered even as the United States and Iran extended their nuclear talks. Brent crude futures LCOc1 and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude CLc1 were up 1.5% each.

Meanwhile, China said that it would suspend some tariffs on Canadian agricultural products.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney reached Mumbai on his first official visit to India as he seeks new global alliances.

In corporate news, Bombardier BBDb.TO CEO Eric Martel said on Thursday that India's efforts to improve its aviation infrastructure will give the aircraft manufacturer a long-term chance to boost sales of business jets.

Investment firm Fairfax FFH.TO is the frontrunner to buy a majority stake in Indian lender IDBI Bank, Bloomberg News reported on Friday.
