US: Wall St opens higher after wage growth data

Published Fri, Jul 31, 2015 · 01:43 PM

[NEW YORK] US stocks edged up on Friday as historically low wage growth supported the view that the Fed could delay the timing of a rate increase.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 10.96 points, or 0.06 per cent, to 17,756.94, the S&P 500 gained 2.98 points, or 0.14 per cent, to 2,111.61 and the Nasdaq composite added 12.37 points, or 0.24 per cent, to 5,141.16.
