Premise: TORONTO, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Canada’s benchmark stock index was little changed on Monday as gains in energy shares on climbing oil prices were offset by sluggish economic data from China. The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed up 16.78 points, or 0.11 percent, at 15,100.70. Six of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red.

Hypothesis: Gains in energy shares were the main reason the Toronto exchange closed up.
