NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks edged higher in early trading on Friday as most sectors of the market posted small gains.

The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 3,014 and is within 12 points of all-time high. The index is headed for a fourth straight weekly gain, even after some volatility during the week caused by volatile oil prices and the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate cut.
