U.S. stocks dipped at the open on Wednesday despite upbeat corporate earnings as buyers appeared scarce following the longest streak of daily gains on the S&P 500 so far this year.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI fell 9.02 points, or 0.05 percent, to 16,505.35, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 2.15 points, or 0.11 percent, to 1,877.4 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 11.926 points, or 0.29 percent, to 4,149.531.
The S&P 500 rose for a sixth straight session on Tuesday.
