India, Oct. 6 -- The Canadian market remains firmly placed in positive territory Tuesday afternoon as lower oil prices and global bond yields help underpin sentiment.

Utilities and materials stocks are among the prominent gainers. Consumer staples and industrials stocks are weak, while stocks from other sectors are turning in a mixed performance.

The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index was up 167.89 points or 0.47% at 35,686.44 a little while ago.
