Wall Street’s main indexes opened higher on Thursday after a temporary truce in the debt-ceiling standoff in Congress relieved concerns of a possible government debt default, while a dip in oil prices eased worries of higher inflation.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 92.73 points, or 0.27 per cent, at the open to 34,509.72.
The S&P 500 opened higher by 20.18 points, or 0.46 per cent, at 4,383.73, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 129.89 points, or 0.90 per cent, to 14,631.80 at the opening bell.
