June 27 (Reuters) -Canada's main stock index rose on Thursday amid broad gains, led by energy shares tracking higher oil prices, while investors awaited key U.S. inflation data due this week to get more hints on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy outlook.
At 10:28 a.m. ET (14:28 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was up 91.53 points, or 0.42%, at 21,885.43.
All sectors except capped communications .GSPTTTS were trading in green, after Canadian yields edged lower as investors hoped for a July rate cut despite hotter-than-expected inflation figures earlier this week.
"Even with the disappointing data, inflation is still below 3% and we do think inflation will work its way down", said Douglas Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets
"There's still a possibility they could cut rates in July."

Markets will now shift focus to the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index data due Friday, which will provide triggers for recalibrating rate expectations, while also monitoring the May GDP figures for Canada.
