(Reuters) – Canada’s main stock index rose on Friday and was set for weekly gains as domestic economic data raised hopes of a soft landing, while materials sector slid as prices of most commodities retreated with a strengthening U.S. dollar.
At 9:31 a.m. ET (13:31 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index was up 25.78 points, or 0.12%, at 22,113.04.
