TORONTO, Nov 20 (Reuters) – Canada’s main stock index eked

out a slight gain on Tuesday, as gains in bank stocks offset

sharp falls in resource-related shares after U.S. Federal

Reserve chief Ben Bernanke warned that uncertainty over a

looming “fiscal cliff” was damaging growth.

The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P;/TSX composite index

ended up 5.88 points, or 0.05 percent, at 12,046.28.

It had traded in negative territory for most of the session.
