TSX opens subdued ahead of U.S. employment data

July 4 (Reuters) – Canada’s main stock index opened
muted on Thursday as gains in technology shares were offset by
losses in real estate and utilities, while investors awaited
U.S. employment data on Friday to gauge the Federal Reserve’s
rate cut trajectory.

At 9:35 a.m. ET (1335 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange’s
S&P/TSX composite index was up 20.84 points, or 0.09%,
at 22,244.51.
