CANADA STOCKS-TSX may rise in tandem with commodities

TORONTO, June 16 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index could open higher on Tuesday as a weaker U.S. dollar lifts commodity prices, bolstering the resource-laden TSX.

Global equities were off earlier lows on Tuesday, boosted in part by a survey showing German investor confidence surged in June [MKTS/GLOB]. U.S. stock index futures pointed to a higher open.

On Monday, the S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE ended down 250.18 points, or 2.35 percent, at 10,394.78. All 10 of its main sectors ended lower.
