Stocks open lower on Wall Street as coronavirus aid talks in Washington remain stuck. The government also reported that the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week to 853,000, the most since September.

The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged in morning trading after erasing an early loss of 0.8%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 9 points, or less than 0.1%, at 30,062, as of 9:58 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.2% higher.

Profits for these companies have proven more resilient to stay-at-home orders, and they’re benefiting from an acceleration of work-from-home and other trends.
