India, Sept. 3 -- Canadian stocks may open with a positive bias on Thursday as some brisk buying is likely in energy and materials sectors thanks to higher oil and precious metals prices. Geopolitical concerns and prospects of Fed rate hikes could limit market's upside.

Investors eye U.S. non-farm payroll data for the month of August, due on Friday.

Data from Statistics Canada showed Canada recorded a trade surplus of C$770 million in July. Exports decreased to C$76.14 billion in July from C$77.96 billion in June, while imports increased to C$75.37 billion in July from C$73.76 billion in June.
