India, Aug. 11 -- Canadian stocks edged slightly higher on Tuesday as investors assessed reports indicating the possibility of a settlement between the U.S. and Iran to end their six-month conflict, while the U.S.-Iran dispute over demands for reparation costs kept Middle East tensions alive.

After opening higher than yesterday's close, today the benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index lost momentum and gave back ground before settling at 36,475.92, up by 17.59 points (or 0.05%).
