TSX opens higher on support from consumer discretionary stocks

Aug 8 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index opened higher on Thursday, boosted by consumer discretionary stocks amid broader gains, while a better-than-expected jobs report in the United States allayed some fears of a potential recession.

At 9:30 a.m. ET (13:30 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index (.GSPTSE), was up 113.64 points, or 0.52%, at 21,994.59.
