US: Wall St opens higher
US stocks opened higher on Friday (Apr 26) on megacaps’ boost after robust quarterly results from Alphabet pushed its market value over US$2 trillion, while an in-line reading for a key inflation print calmed jitters around elevated interest rates.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 28.9 points, or 0.08 per cent, at the open to 38,114.7.
The S&P 500 rose 36.2 points, or 0.72 per cent, at the open to 5,084.65, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 209.6 points, or 1.34 per cent, to 15,821.335 at the opening bell. REUTERS
