(Updates after July GDP data)

Sept 29 (Reuters) - Futures for Canada's main stock index were little changed on Friday after data showed the economy paused in July following eight consecutive months of growth.

Declines in oil extraction and the manufacturing sector hit Canada's gross domestic product, which was unchanged in July and missed economists' expectations for a 0.1 percent increase.

December futures on the S&P TSX index were up 0.15 percent at 8:55 a.m. ET.

Canada's main stock index was little changed on Thursday, squeezing out only a modest gain, with a strong rally in BlackBerry Ltd and Bombardier Inc offsetting a slide in energy issues.

Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures were down 0.13 percent at 8:55 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures were down 0.07 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures were up 0.11 percent.
