Nov 1 (Reuters) -Canada's main stock index rose on Friday, led by consumer discretionary and energy shares, rebounding from a selloff in the previous session as markets inch closer to next week's U.S. election.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was up 139.83 points, or 0.58%, at 24,296.7.
However, the index was set to log a weekly loss as it was partly affected by the U.S. election uncertainty and lackluster earnings from some of Wall Street's megacaps.
At least ten sectors on the index gained, led by the consumer discretionary sector .GSPTTCD jumping 1.6%, as it benefitted from a 7.8% rise in Magna International MG.TO after auto parts maker reported its third-quarter results.
The energy sector .SPTTEN also jumped 1%, tracking a surge in oil prices after reports that Iran was preparing a retaliatory strike on Israel in the coming days. O/R
"I think there's probably a bit of rallying given the sell-off that happened yesterday," said Kevin Headland, co-chief investment strategist at Manulife Investment Management.
Headland added "seasonality tends to be strong" as November and December are typically strong months for the index.
Among economic data, U.S. job growth fell sharply in October, but the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1%, keeping bets on a Federal Reserve rate cut in November intact.
Market participants widely expect the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at its policy meeting next Thursday, with estimates for a similar cut in December. 0#FEDWATCH
Global investors also weighed the potential impact of next week's closely contested U.S. presidential election, with many betting sites favoring Republican candidate Donald Trump's victory.
Separately, Canadian manufacturing activity increased at a faster pace in October as production and employment picked up in anticipation of rising orders.
Among other stocks, Air Canada AC.TO rose 12% after raising its annual core profit forecast and announced share buybacks, benefitting from strong demand for international travel.
