TORONTO, Oct 1 (Reuters) – Canada’s main stock index gained

the most in almost two weeks on Tuesday, as investors brushed

off a partial U.S. government shutdown to buy into banks,

insurers and energy companies while selling gold miners.

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

unofficially ended up 60.25 points, or 0.47 percent,

at 12,847.44.
