Wall Street edges higher as US-Canada tariffs heat up and Nvidia awaits results

U.S. stocks rose with the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq posting gains as traders priced in escalating US-Canada trade tensions while awaiting Nvidia’s quarterly results. Nvidia gained about 2% ahead of its report, helping the tech-heavy Nasdaq, while Dick’s Sporting Goods slid roughly 30% after missing estimates and cutting guidance. Bitcoin briefly vaulted above $80,000 amid dollar-risk headlines and broader risk-on sentiment, while gold and other assets also moved as data suggested softer housing and consumer confidence ahead of upcoming Jackson Hole commentary from Fed officials.
