Wall Street flat as options expire


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks opened little changed on Friday, with consumer staples and industrial shares providing support, but the market was expected to see-saw with the expiration of futures and options contracts.

    * Four types of June equity futures and options contracts expire Friday, a convergence known as quadruple witching.

    * The Dow Jones industrial average edged up 4.53 points, or 0.04 percent, at 10,438.70. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 0.55 points, or 0.05 percent, to 1,116.59. The Nasdaq Composite Index put on 0.72 points, or 0.03 percent, to 2,307.88.
