* TSX up 1.2%

* Technology and energy shares lead broader gains

* Shopify surges after beating Q2 revenue estimates

Aug 7 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index climbed on Wednesday with technology shares leading the rally after Shopify beat quarterly revenue estimates, while the market looked to make a broader recovery.

At 9:45 a.m. ET (13:45 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 265.03 points, or 1.21%, at 22,244.39.

Technology shares shares rose 5.6% as the sector was boosted by a 23% surge in Shopify.

The e-commerce platform beat analysts' estimates for second-quarter revenue and forecast an upbeat current quarter as its e-commerce services attracted more merchants following the launch of AI-enabled tools.

Energy shares were up 2.5% after oil prices bounced back on concerns that an escalating conflict in the Middle East could hurt production.

Suncor Energy outperformed other stocks in the sector, surging 6%, after the oil producer beat analysts' estimates for second-quarter profit on Tuesday after markets closed.

The market saw broader gains except for consumer staples that declined 0.5%.

The index had fallen to its lowest in five weeks in the previous session to catch up with the stocks dump that hit markets on Monday.

"The market held in relatively well yesterday and (we’re looking to) build off of that more today. We've seen decent numbers from Shopify this morning, so that's a positive," said Greg Taylor, chief investment officer at Purpose Investments.

Moving ahead, investors will look out for more corporate earnings and domestic employment figures in the week.

"The Bank of Canada signalled that they're going to do more rate cuts going forward and this (data) will probably be more evidence to make sure we're scaling up," Taylor added.

Among other stocks, Stella-Jones fell to the bottom of the TSX with a 4.7% loss after it announced its second-quarter results.

Air Canada lost 2.3% after it reported a lower second-quarter profit, that still came ahead of analysts' estimates. (Reporting by Purvi Agarwal in Bengaluru; Editing by Vijay Kishore)
