Canada's main stock index rose on Thursday as gains in the financial sector and shares of TransCanada Corp offset a decline in natural resource companies. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index ended up 79.39 points, or 0.52 percent, at 15,407.66. Investors were taking in a slew of Canadian corporate earnings, while global markets rose.
TransCanada was the biggest lift on the index, climbing 5.0 percent to C$56.33 after it reported strong fourth-quarter profit and said it would go ahead with the expansion of its NGTL natural gas system.
