Toronto stocks open higher on early rate-cut hopes

May 3 (Reuters) – Canada’s main stock index jumped on

jobs growth in April raised hopes of early interest rate cuts by
the U.S. Federal Reserve.

At 9:31 a.m. ET (1331 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange’s
S&P/TSX composite index was up 147.89 points, or
0.68%, at 21,971.11.
