MUMBAI: US markets edged higher on Thursday as investors bought beaten-down technology, commodity and financial stocks. Trading was choppy in light volumes for most of the day as investors remained cautious ahead of more corporate earnings reports in the coming weeks.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 4.76 points, or 0.06 per cent, to 8,183.17. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 3.12 points, or 0.35 per cent, to 882.68. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 5.38 points, or 0.31 per cent, to 1,752.55.
