Wall Street opens higher after homes data


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks opened slightly higher on Tuesday after a report showed the price of U.S. homes in April fell at a lower-than-anticipated pace, while investors awaited data on consumer confidence and business activity.

    The Dow Jones industrial average gained 9.75 points, or 0.11 percent, to 8,539.13. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.64 points, or 0.07 percent, to 927.87. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 8.13 points, or 0.44 percent, to 1,852.19.
