Gold futures raced past the $1,000-mark, and helped the Toronto stock market close another positive session.

The S&P/TSX composite index ended the day ahead 98.23 points to 11,253.23.

That was after the December bullion contract picked up $9.60 to close at US$1,006.40 an ounce in trading in New York.

The Canadian dollar rose 0.01 of a cent to 92.71 cents U.S.

Energy stocks were also lifted, even as the October crude contract on the Nymex closed down $2.65 to $69.29 a barrel, amid worries about weakening demand.

On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrials lost 22.07 points to 9,605.41. The Nasdaq composite index was down 3.12 points to 2,080.90, while the S&P 500 index slid 1.41 points to 1,042.73.
