The benchmark S&P 500 and the Nasdaq opened lower on Thursday, weighed by a drop in technology stocks as strong forecasts from Western Digital and Sandisk failed to impress, while investors also awaited details on a Middle East peace deal.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 77.7 points, or 0.14%, at the open to 54,426.85. The S&P 500 fell 9.8 points, or 0.13%, at the open to 7,713.79, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 94.6 points, or 0.36%, to 26,268.843 at the opening bell.
