Aug 26 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index climbed to

a record high on Monday, lifted by the energy stocks tracking

higher crude prices, while investors perked up on the higher

chances of a September rate cut in the United States.

At 9:31 a.m. ET (13:31 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's

S&P/TSX composite index was up 92.61 points, or 0.4%,

at 23,378.69.
