Dow Opens Higher. Tech Stocks Pull Back From Recent Gains.
Stocks were jittery on Thursday as uncertainty lingers over President Donald Trump's plans for tariffs, while tech stocks digested recent gains on the White House's artificial-intelligence ambitions. The S&P 500 was down 0.2%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 0.6%. The about-turn by the index comes shortly before Trump delivers a speech and potentially answers questions at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
