(posted under DJIA stocks, Nasdaq live) - A very good morning to all the visitors to my blog, and the news from major US Stock indices is good as major stock markets of US opened in green today as there were strong quarterly earning reports arriving.

US Stocks were modestly higher in early trading as a round of upbeat earnings more than offset a new report that showed jobless claims jumped unexpectedly last week.

In early trading Thursday, the 30 share benchmark index Dow Jones industrial average (DJIA) was up by 7.49 pts at 10,610.64. The Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) index was up by 2.83 pts at 1,140.87, while the Nasdaq composite index was up 15.12 at 2,306.37.
