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 fell 164.8 points,

or 0.37%, at the open to 44,548.69. The S&P 500 rose 11.4

points, or 0.19%, at the open to 6,050.75​, while the Nasdaq

Composite rose 65.2 points, or 0.33%, to 19,697.525 at

the opening bell.
