TSX opens at record high as jobs data fuels rate cut bets

Sept 5 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index opened at a record high on Friday after data showed that surprise job loss in August strengthened investor expectations for a potential interest-rate cut by the Bank of Canada later this month.

At 9:31 a.m. ET (1331 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index (.GSPTSE), was up 0.50% at 29,059.88 points.
