The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq rose at the open on Wednesday, but the gains were capped by worries around the rising chances of more jumbo-sized rate hikes following a higher-than-expected rise in producer prices in September.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 6.1 points, or 0.02 percent, at the open to 29,233.06. The S&P 500 rose 2.0 points, or 0.06 percent, at the open to 3,590.83, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 10.8 points, or 0.10 percent, to 10,436.996 at the opening bell.
