«Breaking News» CANADA STOCKS-TSX higher as crude prices rise

Sept 24 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose on Monday as energy shares were boosted by a surge in crude prices after Saudi Arabia and Russia ruled out any immediate increase to oil production.

* The energy sector was 2 percent higher as U.S. crude rose 2 percent and Brent crude added 2.4 percent.

* Barrick Gold, up 6.7 percent, was the top boost to materials stocks after the company agreed to buy Randgold Resources in an $18.3 billion share deal to create the world's largest gold company by value.

* The materials sector, which includes precious and base metals miners and fertilizer companies, added 1.2 percent.

* Gold prices were steady partly due to a dip in the dollar, but activity was muted as investors awaited a U.S. central bank meeting this week that is expected to result in an interest rate increase.

* At 9:50 a.m. ET (1350 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 29.72 points, or 0.18 percent, at 16,253.85.

* Still, seven of the index's 11 major sectors were lower. The consumer discretionary sector's 1.4 percent drop was the steepest.

* Data showed Canadian wholesale trade rose 1.5 percent in July from June as sales climbed in four of seven sub-sectors, including a 4.2 percent gain for personal and household goods.

* On the NAFTA front, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said U.S. and Canadian officials were "very likely" to hold informal talks on the sidelines of a major United Nations meeting in the next few days.

* On the TSX, 130 issues were higher, while 111 issues declined for a 1.17-to-1 ratio favouring gainers, with 42.81 million shares traded.

* The top percentage gainers on the TSX were Barrick Gold and Gran Tierra Energy, which rose 7 percent.

* New Gold fell 3.1 percent, the most on the TSX, followed by The Stars Group, which dipped 2.6 percent.

* Among the most heavily traded shares by volume were Aurora Cannabis and Nemaska Lithium.

* The TSX posted one new 52-week high and two new lows.

* Across all Canadian issues there were 11 new 52-week highs and 13 new lows, with a total volume of 62.81 million shares. (Reporting by Amy Caren Daniel in Bengaluru; Editing by Sai Sachin Ravikumar)

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
