NEW YORK - Stocks are opening higher as investors examine better-than-expected sales reports from discounters and a $15 billion buyout for Rohm and Haas Co. by Dow Chemical Co.
But continued worries about the financial sector and rising oil prices appear at times to be weighing on investors.
The Dow Jones industrial average is up 34 at the 11,182 level.
