Canada’s main stock index inched forward Wednesday on the strength of the energy sector. The S&P/TSX composite index gained nine points to 15,627.93. The energy sector led the lift, with shares gaining an average 1.08 per cent of their worth. The sector’s rise was partially a reflection of the price of oil advancing, said Matthew Rodier, vice-president and investment advisor at TD Wealth. The June crude contract gained 68 cents to $67.93 (U.S.) per barrel.
