Canada's main stock index rose on Monday, as gains in energy and mining stocks helped the index bounce back from last week's losses triggered by hawkish comments from the US Federal Reserve.

On the TSX, 153 issues were higher, while 76 issues declined for a 2.01-to-1 ratio favoring gainers, with 15.81 million shares traded.
