Canada's main stock index hit a two-week high on Tuesday, led by gains in healthcare shares, while investors await a raft of corporate earnings and the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate decision to gauge the outlook for global monetary policy.
At 10:15 a.m. ET (1415 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was up 89.94 points, or 0.39%, at 22869.51.

All heavyweight sectors on the TSX were trading in the green, with rate-sensitive financial shares .SPTTFS up 0.5%.
Energy shares .SPTTEN also advanced 0.5% despite oil prices drifting lower.
Gold prices rose, boosting the materials sector .GSPTTMT , as investors awaited the Fed's commentary on its monetary policy and a deluge of U.S. economic data due later in the week for more clues on the pace and scale of the U.S. central bank's interest rate cuts.
All eyes will be on the Fed on Wednesday for their decision, where markets expect the central bank to keep the interest rates unchanged while providing commentary to set the base for a September rate cut.
