TSX ends higher as energy, mining shares jump

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index climbed on Friday, driven by a surge in shares of energy and mining companies rebounding from the brutal selloff earlier in the week. The benchmark index gained for a fourth straight session and ended the week nearly 3 percent higher. The energy sector jumped 3.1 percent. Suncor Energy Inc added 1 percent, and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd rose 2.1 percent. Still, fund managers were cautious about the prospects for the industry. "I don't think we're out of the woods in any way," said David Cockfield, managing director and portfolio manager at Northland Wealth Management. "It's going to take a while for the supply and demand dynamics to rebalance." The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index <.GSPTSE> closed up 98.40 points, or 0.71 percent, at 13,865.07. Barrick Gold Corp jumped 4.3 percent to C$9.44. (Reporting by John Tilak; Editing by James Dalgleish)
