U.S. stocks open mostly higher after S&P 500 exits bear market
U.S. stocks opened mostly higher Friday, with the S&P 500 edging up after on Thursday exiting bear-market territory, as investors look ahead to next week's inflation report and the Federal Reserve's policy meeting. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down less than 0.1% soon after the opening bell, while the S&P 500 gained 0.3% and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.5%, according to FactSet data, at last check. Next week, investors will get a reading on Tuesday from the consumer-price index on May inflation and the Fed will announce its decision on interest-rate policy on Wednesday.
