(Reuters) -Canada's main stock index recouped its earlier decline to close higher on Friday, helped by gains for industrial and gold mining shares, as hopes rose that the U.S. Federal Reserve's tightening campaign is coming to an end amid turmoil in the banking sector. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index ended up 41.57 points, or 0.2%, at 19,501.49. Wall Street also closed higher as Fed officials calmed investor skittishness over a potential liquidity crisis in the banking sector.
S&P Global said its flash reading for the March purchasing managers' index (PMI) for France's services sector stood at 55.5 points, up from 53.1 in February and also beating forecasts. Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast a reading of 52.5 points for the flash March services PMI. That showed that the manufacturing sector remained in contraction, but it nevertheless marked a slight improvement from a reading of 47.4 points in February, although it came in below a Reuters forecast for 48.0 points.
