Wall Street’s main indexes opened higher on Tuesday, led by technology shares, although the overall sentiment remained fragile due to worries about higher inflation and its impact on third-quarter earnings starting this week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 11.09 points, or 0.03 per cent, at the open to 34,507.15.
The S&P 500 opened higher by 7.12 points, or 0.16 per cent, at 4,368.31, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 52.89 points, or 0.37 per cent, to 14,539.09 at the opening bell.
