Wall Street Ends Higher as Markets Eye Easing of Trade Tensions
Wall Street's main indexes finished higher in choppy trading on Wednesday, as investors cheered the likely easing of trade tensions between the U.S. and major trading partners. Stocks turned positive after a report said President Donald Trump was considering a one-month delay of auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Equities extended gains after a White House announcement confirmed that Trump agreed to delay tariffs on some vehicles.

- What will be the impact of the delayed tariffs on the global economy and corporate profits, and how will this affect the overall trajectory of the US stock market?
