Sept 27 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main stock indexes

opened higher on Friday, with the S&P 500 near record highs,

after soft inflation data raised expectations that the Federal

continue easing interest rates.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 52.8 points, or

0.13%, at the open to 42227.95. The S&P 500 rose 10.0

points, or 0.17%, at the open to 5755.36​, while the Nasdaq

Composite rose 38.5 points, or 0.21%, to 18228.778 at

the opening bell.
