(Reuters) - Futures tied to Canada's main stock index rose on Monday (NASDAQ:MNDY), mirroring Wall Street peers, with investors focusing on this week's major economic indicators including key U.S. inflation data.

Donald Trump's reelection kicked off a global stock market rally last week on expectations that the Trump administration's second term will bring equities-boosting tax cuts and looser regulations.

Later this week, data from the U.S. consumer price index could provide more clues about the Federal Reserve's monetary policy move at its December policy meeting.

In Canada, quarterly earnings from e-commerce services giant Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) will grab investor interest on Tuesday, while data from manufacturing sales is expected on Friday.
