TORONTO, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index inched higher on Thursday as gold miners gained and insurers slipped with uncertainty around when the U.S. Federal Reserve might next raise interest rates.
The most influential movers on the index also included BCE Inc BCE.TO , which fell 1.4 percent to C$57.59 as the telecom company paid heavily to win wireless customers and forecast 2017 profit below analyst estimates. 10:25 a.m. ET (1525 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was up 10.17 points, or 0.07 percent, at 15,412.56.
Canadian Natural Resources Ltd CNQ.TO advanced 2 percent to C$40.09, with oil prices holding near the top end of recent ranges as evidence OPEC and other big exporters were cutting production outweighed a sharp rise in U.S. crude and gasoline stockpiles. O/R
But the energy group was flat overall, with Cameco Corp CCO.TO falling sharply for a second day, down 5.9 percent to C$13.83, as the uranium producer said it would take legal action against Tokyo Electric Power Company for attempting to terminate a supply contract and RBC Capital cut its view on the stock to "sector perform" from "outperform".
Manulife Financial Corp MFC.TO slipped 0.4 percent to C$24.89 and Sun Life Financial Inc SLF.TO fell 0.5 percent to C$50.82 after the U.S. Federal Reserve gave little insight into whether it would raise interest rates at its next meeting.
The lack of clarity on the U.S. rates outlook boosted the price of gold, helping Goldcorp Inc G.TO add 2.1 percent to C$21.25 and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd AEM.TO rose 2.2 percent to C$63.24.
The materials group, which includes precious and base metals miners and fertilizer companies, added 0.6 percent, as gold futures GCc1 rose 1.2 percent to $1,220.1 an ounce. GOL/
