May 4 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index was nearly

flat on Monday, with gains in technology shares making up for

losses in miners while renewed tensions between the U.S. and

Iran lifted oil prices and pressured global equities.

At 10:53 a.m. ET, the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX

composite index was up 0.03% at 33,900.92 points.

The technology index rose 1.6%, with BlackBerry

soaring 8% to a more-than-one-year-high.

Heavy-weight mining stocks slipped 0.3% after

gold prices fell as rising geopolitical tensions boosted the

dollar and stoked concerns about inflation that kept

expectations of higher interest rates alive.

Eldorado Gold ( EGO ), Aya Gold and Silver ( AYA ) and

Lundin Mining ( LUNMF ) were each down between 1.6% and 2.8%.

The U.S. military said two U.S. Navy guided-missile

destroyers had entered the Gulf to break an Iranian blockade and

that two U.S. ships had transited the Strait of Hormuz, after

Iran said it had prevented a U.S. warship entering the Gulf.

"There's growing concern that top-line inflation will

continue to inch higher and that interest rates may move from a

pause to rising later in the year, which is unsettling for

rate-sensitive investors," said Shiraz Ahmed, founder at

Sartorial Wealth.

The energy index also inched higher as oil prices

rose.

The benchmark index was trading about 2% below its March 2

peak, showing how the U.S.-Iran conflict has weighed on

sentiment in Canada's energy-heavy market despite some support

from firm oil prices.

On the earnings front, Fairfax financial holdings

rose 4.3% after the insurance group's first-quarter revenue grew

12.8% to $7.06 billion from a year ago and beat analyst

expectations of $7 billion.
