April 14 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes opened
lower on Friday as weak retail sales data for March suggested
the economy was losing steam, while upbeat earnings from a trio
of big U.S. banks helped assuage fears of further stress in the
sector.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 47.98 points,
or 0.14%, at the open to 33,981.71. The S&P 500 opened
lower by 6.11 points, or 0.15%, at 4,140.11, while the Nasdaq
Composite dropped 48.36 points, or 0.40%, to 12,117.91
at the opening bell.
