U.S. Stocks Open Higher, Eye Best Weekly Gain Of 2015

U.S. stocks opened marginally higher Friday and the main indexes were on track to post solid weekly gains. Friday's modest opening gains follow days of global equity-market rallies, in part fueled by a sharp rebound in commodity prices. The S&P 500 opened 2 points, or 0.1%, higher at 2,015 and was on track to post its biggest weekly gain this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 29 points, or 0.2% to 17,082. The Nasdaq Composite began the day up 3 points, or less than 0.1%, at 4,813.
