CANADA STOCKS-TSX opens sharply lower as resources retreat

TORONTO, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index fell
hard at the open on Thursday as resource stocks were knocked
lower by retreating oil and gold prices.

The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was down 116.73
points, or 1 percent, at 11,520.17.

Volume is expected to be light in Canada with U.S. markets
closed for the Thanksgiving Day holiday, which may exaggerate
movements.
