NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks are modestly higher at the open on Tuesday as a cascade of earnings landed and inflation was tame, while hopes rose for an easing of tensions in Ukraine.
The Dow Jones industrial average is rising 29.95 points, or 0.18 percent, to 17,081.68, the S&P 500 is up 7.15 points, or 0.36 percent, to 1,980.78 and the Nasdaq Composite is adding 20.42 points, or 0.46 percent, to 4,445.12.
