TORONTO, June 28 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose
on Tuesday, paring some of the losses inflicted in the prior two
sessions after Britain's shock vote to leave the European Union.
Banks and energy companies, both of which had fallen heavily
since Thursday's vote, were leading the rebound in early trade,
as investors sought bargains amid the uncertainty created by the
so-called Brexit.
The most influential movers on the index included
Toronto-Dominion Bank TD.TO , which rose 1.6 percent to
C$55.39, and Suncor Energy Inc SU.TO , which advanced 2.2
percent to C$35.09.
The energy group climbed 2.8 percent as crude prices gained.
The financials group gained 1.4 percent.
Gold miners, which had helped limit the TSX's overall losses
with strong gains on Friday and Monday, were among the heaviest
weights, with Barrick Gold Corp ABX.TO down 2.1 percent to
C$27.02 and Goldcorp Inc G.TO slipped 1.4 percent to C$23.72.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index
.GSPTSE was up 156.61 points, or 1.14 percent, at 13,846.40.
Advancers outnumbered decliners by more than 6-to-1.
Nine of the index's 10 main groups were in positive
territory. The materials group, which includes precious and base
metals miners and fertilizer companies, lost 0.5 percent.
Plane maker Bombardier Inc BBDb.TO gained 3.9 percent to
$1.88 after Air Canada said it had finalized a deal to buy 45 of
its CSeries jets with an option to purchase another 30.
Industrials rose 1.8 percent.
Shares in Canexus Corp CUS.TO declined 0.8 percent to
$1.29. The chemical company said Canada's antitrust regulator
had approved its proposed buyout by rival Superior Plus Corp
SPB.TO .
That approval came a day after U.S. antitrust regulators
filed a complaint to block the deal, saying the companies were
two of the three manufacturers of a chemical needed to whiten
wood pulp for paper production.
Shares in Superior advanced 2.3 percent to $10.42.
