* TSX up 127.45 points, or 0.88 percent, at 14,690.83 * Six of the 10 main index sectors decline * Gold miners jump 7.3 pct, energy shares rise 2.7 pct By John Tilak TORONTO, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index jumped to its highest level in a month on Friday as shares of natural resource producers rebounded with commodity prices, while strong Canadian jobs data boosted overall sentiment. Shares of energy producers jumped 2.7 percent. In the group, Canadian Natural Resources Ltd gained 2.8 percent to C$40.87, and Suncor Energy Inc was up 1.8 percent at C$39.19. The gold-mining sector advanced 7.3 percent, reflecting stronger bullion prices. Barrick Gold Corp added 6.3 percent to C$13.79, and Goldcorp Inc rose 6.9 percent to C$22.68. Shares of BlackBerry Ltd rose 1.6 percent after a major Canadian pension fund disclosed that it had significantly raised its holding in the company, a sign of belief in the smartphone maker's turnaround. The Ontario Teachers Pension Plan Board said in a regulatory filing that it had boosted its stake in BlackBerry to 8.23 million shares in the third quarter, giving the fund a 1.56 percent stake. The fund had owned 439,500 shares in the company as of the end of the second quarter. Shares of Cameco Corp surged 11 percent to C$21.24, rising with other uranium producers such as Paladin Energy , UR-Energy and Uranerz Energy Corp, after Japan moved closer to restarting two nuclear reactors. Japan's nuclear-power industry has been stalled for more than three years after the Fukushima disaster led to the shutdown of its fleet of reactors.
