Stocks edged higher in choppy trading on Wall Street Friday, on pace to close out a milestone-setting week with modest gains as investors review the latest round of corporate earnings. Health care, technology and communication services companies helped lift the market after a wobbly start. The S&P 500 was up 0.1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.2%. The Nasdaq was up 0.1%. Amazon fell 2.8% and Apple was down 2.4%. The latest batch of corporate earnings raised concerns that a persistent supply chain shortage could crimp economic growth through the rest of the year. The U.S. also reported that consumer spending grew just 0.6% in September.
