TORONTO, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose
sharply on Friday as the rally in crude oil prices supported the
resource-linked market, while rising expectations of monetary
easing by central banks in Europe and Japan supported risk
appetite.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index
.GSPTSE was up 250.26 points, or 2.08 percent, at 12,286.12,
shortly after the open. It included a 5.4 percent jump in energy
stocks.
