TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's benchmark stock index reached a nearly two-week high on Thursday, led by financial and energy stocks as investors anticipated that Britons will vote to remain in the European Union. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index <.GSPTSE> unofficially closed up 127.57 points, or 0.91 percent, at 14,131.38. Eight of the index's 10 main groups ended higher.
