NEW YORK - Wall Street stocks edged higher early Monday as markets digested a weekend of civil rights protests across the US as the country began to reopen after weeks of coronavirus shutdowns.The broad-based S&P 500 added 0.2 per cent at 3,051.69 while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index gained 0.5 per cent to 9,534.87.
