Stocks edged higher in morning trading on Wall Street Friday and are on track for their third straight week of gains. The S&P 500, which notched a record high a day earlier, rose 0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4% and the Nasdaq fell 0.3%. Every major index is on track for a third consecutive week of gains. Intel sank after reporting revenue that fell short of analysts’ forecasts, and Snap fell sharply after saying its ad sales are being hurt by a privacy crackdown on Apple’s iPhones earlier this year. American Express rose after posting strong results.Â
