TORONTO (CP) - Rising energy prices boosted the Toronto stock market Monday, as the TSX's main index closed higher after last week's decline and investors looked ahead to Wednesday's U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate announcement.

Toronto's S&P/TSX composite index rose 107.51 points to close at 11,763.55 after surging ahead 120 points earlier in the day following last week's 200-point index decline. The energy sector, which makes up about 30 per cent of the index, rose by 2.7 per cent as the October contract for light sweet crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange climbed 47 cents to settle at US$63.80 a barrel.

"After the recent pullback that we have gone through in the last week or two, you expect to have some sort of stabilization process," said Joe Ismail, technical analyst at Maison Placements Canada.

A slight rebound in energy and a reshuffling of portfolios as a number of futures and indexes expired appear to be behind Monday's more positive tones, but Ismail said "a second down leg is coming in" for the Toronto market.
