REUTERS - Wall Street opened slightly higher on Friday, with the S&P 500 on track for its best week this year, after minutes from the Federal Reserve's September meeting indicated slim chances of a hike in interest rates this year.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 30.33 points, or 0.18 percent, to 17,081.08. The S&P 500 gained 1.76 points, or 0.09 percent, to 2,015.19 and the Nasdaq composite index added 2.36 points, or 0.05 percent, to 4,813.15.
