(fxcue news) - Canadian stocks are moving in a tight range in lackluster trade on Thursday, with investors awaiting the data on U.S. non-farm payroll employment for directional clues. Communications, energy, consumer discretionary and utilities stocks are finding some support, while stocks from the rest of the sectors are turning in a mixed performance. The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index was up 59.10 points or 0.27% at 22,282.77 a little while ago. Gildan Activewear (GIL.TO) is rising 2.5%.
