Jan 30 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq opened higher on Thursday, driven by post-earnings gains in Meta and Tesla, while Microsoft's lackluster cloud forecast and downbeat results from Cigna tempered overall market optimism somewhat.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 164.8 points, or 0.37%, at the open to 44,548.69. The S&P 500 .SPX rose 11.4 points, or 0.19%, at the open to 6,050.75, while the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC rose 65.2 points, or 0.33%, to 19,697.525 at the opening bell.
