US STOCKS-Wall Street opens flat after ADP data, P&G


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks opened flat on Wednesday as data showing higher-than-expected private-sector job losses in July sparked caution about the strength of the economic recovery.

    * Procter & Gamble Co posted a stronger-than-expected quarterly profit, but its shares slipped 2.7 percent to $53.93 as investors fretted about the company's sales and forecast.

    * The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 24.78 points, or 0.27 percent, to 9,295.41. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index shed 0.53 points, or 0.05 percent, to 1,005.12. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 0.89 points, or 0.04 percent, to 2,012.20.
