April 11 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index opened

muted on Thursday as gains in utility stocks were offset by

losses in financials while receding expectations of a June rate

cut weighed on investor sentiment.

At 9:30 a.m. ET (13:30 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's

S&P/TSX composite index was up 3.28 points, or 0.01%,

at 22,202.41.
