US stocks were mixed in opening trade Monday ahead of a heavy week of earnings releases.
Six minutes into the trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 4.22 points (0.03 percent) to 13,492.65.
The broad-based S&P 500 lost 0.73 point (0.05 percent) at 1,471.32, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 5.73 (0.18 percent) to 3,119.90.
The middling results in the US followed a strong day of trading in Asia, where markets were boosted by comments from China's state regulator that said the investment quota for foreigners in domestic equities could be increased tenfold.
