Wall St opens down after inflation data


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks opened down on Thursday as indexes hovered at multi-year highs after both inflation and weekly claims for jobless benefits came in higher than expected.

    U.S. core consumer prices rose at their quickest pace in more than a year in January as the Federal Reserve's monetary police comes into focus again as signs of inflation creep into the global economy.

    The Dow Jones industrial average was down 22.32 points, or 0.18 percent, at 12,265.85. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 3.57 points, or 0.27 percent, at 1,332.75. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 8.25 points, or 0.29 percent, at 2,817.31.
