TORONTO - The Toronto stock market was
set for a higher open Monday as oil prices rose and traders awaited the

The Canadian dollar was ahead 0.19 of a cent to 78.86 cents US.
New York futures were mixed as the Dow Jones industrial futures rose 61 points to 17,158, the Nasdaq futures declined 4.3 points to 4,137 and the S&P 500 futures edged 6.8 points higher to 1,995.2.
Investors looked to the mid-morning release of the Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index for January for reassurance about the U.S., which is now viewed as the major prop for the global economy. Growth in China has stalled and the European Central Bank is just now embarking on a program of quantitative easing aimed at stabilizing the economy and boosting inflation.
