July 18 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index on Thursday rebounded slightly from the prior session's selloff, as gains in telecom shares countered losses in the materials sector.
At 10:39 a.m. ET (1439 GMT), the S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was up 0.08% at 22,869.26 points.
Wall Street indexes also stabilized as data showed the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, supporting bets for U.S. interest-ratecuts this year.
Meanwhile, soft inflation numbers in Canada, higher unemployment in June and GDP figures for April have all added to the expectation ofthe Bank of Canada cutting its rates at the policymeeting next week.
Market participants are expecting an 87% chance of a 25-basispoint rate cut by the Canadian central bank on July 24. 0#BOCWATCH
"The BoC does have a tendency to surprise every now and again, but this time around we believe that the Bank of Canada will align with the market with regards to rate cut expectations," said Shailesh Kshatriya, director of Canadian strategies at Russell Investments Canada.
Telecom shares .GSPTTTS rose 0.7% to lead sectoral gains on the Toronto Stock Exchange, followed by the realestate .GSPTTRE and financial .SPTTFS sectors.
On the flip side, the materials sector .GSPTTMT dropped 1% to the bottom of the index as copperprices declined.
Among individual stocks, Tenaz Energy TNZ.TO shares jumped nearly 33% after the energy company signed anagreement to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of NAM Offshore B.V. for $180.33 million.
