US STOCKS-Wall St edges higher, boosted by healthcare; Alphabet, Amazon pressure Nasdaq

Alphabet Inc tumbled 6.4% after sources told Reuters the U.S. Justice Department is preparing an investigation of the Google-parent to determine whether the company broke antitrust laws in operating its online businesses.
