Wall Street’s main indexes opened muted on Wednesday as optimism around unwinding of pandemic restrictions by China was offset by worries about rising COVID-19 cases in the world’s second-largest economy.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 23.20 points, or 0.07 percent, at the open to 33,264.76.

The S&P 500 opened higher by 0.31 points, or 0.01 percent, at 3,829.56, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 14.03 points, or 0.14 percent, to 10,339.20 at the opening bell.
