India, Aug. 10 -- Canadian stocks edged higher on Monday, extending the gains from Friday's session due to a surge in the oil-linked stocks following uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz reopening. However, skepticism over Canada-U.S. trade talks compelled investors to hold back from risky assets, dragging the index down.

After opening a little below previous week's close, today the benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index gained momentum later and traded positive throughout the rest of the session before settling at 36,458.33, up by 77.10 points (or 0.21%).
