U.S. stocks opened modestly lower on Friday, with the main indexes on track to end the week with losses for the first time in nine weeks. The recent bout of selling on Wall Street comes as investors fret about a possible delay in much-anticipated corporate tax cuts. The S&P 500 opened 6 points, or 0.2%, lower at 2,580. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 17 points, or 0.1%, to 23,444. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index fell 11 points, or 0.2%, to 6,739. Among the best performers on Wall Street, shares of NVIDIA Corp rallied after the company beat earnings estimates.
