TORONTO, July 29 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index
closed sharply higher on Wednesday, helped by gains in banks,
railways and oil companies as crude prices bounced off near
six-month lows and the U.S. Federal Reserve left the door open
for a September interest rate hike.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index
.GSPTSE ended up 224.44 points, or 1.59 percent, at 14,301.80.
The energy, financial and industrial sectors all clocked gains
of more than 2 percent.
