TORONTO, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index turned higher in early trade on Tuesday, led by financial and industrial stocks as Hurricane Irma appeared to have caused less damage than feared and a fertilizer merger got a green light.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was up 24.32 points, or 0.16 percent, to 15,064.62 shortly after opening in the red.
