NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks opened little changed on Friday after recent advances pushed indexes to more than 30-month highs and as Wall Street eyed a third week of gains.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> was down 2.38 points, or 0.02 percent, at 12,315.76. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> dipped 0.13 points, or 0.01 percent, at 1,340.30. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> was up 1.72 points, or 0.06 percent, at 2,833.30.
The S&P 500, up 4.2 percent so far this month, has doubled in less than two years, the quickest 100 percent jump since the Great Depression.
