Toronto stocks rise after surprise rate cut

08/10/08

TORONTO (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index ended more than 200 points higher on Wednesday in a volatile session, as surprising, co-ordinated interest rate cuts by several central banks restored some confidence to markets and lit a fire under mining stocks.

The S&P/TSX composite index <.GSPTSE> unofficially ended up 228.67 points, or 2.33 percent, at 10,058.22.
