July 2 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes opened higher on Thursday after a softer-than-expected employment report for June tempered expectations for interest-rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 90.0 points, or 0.17%, at the open to 52,395.22. The S&P 500 rose 11.9 points, or 0.16%, at the open to 7,495.14, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 7.4 points, or 0.03%, to 26,047.382.
