(Reuters) - U.S. stocks opened slightly higher on Wednesday, with help from technology stocks, but trade was in focus as investors awaited progress on trade talks between the United States and Canada and eyed next week's deadline for consultations on fresh China-U.S. tariffs.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 18.51 points, or 0.07 percent, at the open to 26,082.53. The S&P 500 opened higher by 3.10 points, or 0.11 percent, at 2,900.62. The Nasdaq Composite gained 14.30 points, or 0.18 percent, to 8,044.34 at the opening bell.
