March 9 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes opened higher on Thursday as a greater-than-expected rise in weekly jobless claims eased some rate-hike jitters ahead of a key payrolls report that could determine the Fed's monetary policy path. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 78.43 points, or 0.24%, at the open to 32,876.83. The S&P 500 opened higher by 6.65 points, or 0.17%, at 3,998.66, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 2.30 points, or 0.02%, to 11,578.31 at the opening bell.
