Wall Street stalls at open after big run
(Reuters) – Stocks were little changed in early trading on Monday after equities posted their best week in a month as the euro zone debt crisis and the economy showed signs of stabilizing.
Germany and France pressed for a rapid deal between Greece and its private creditors and said they remained committed to a new bailout that is needed by March to avert a default. Euro zone finance ministers were due to decide later Monday on what debt restructuring terms they would accept.
The euro hit its highest level in nearly three weeks against the dollar on optimism a deal would be reached. <USD/>
U.S. stocks are up nearly 5 percent this year after four days of gains, with investors particularly emboldened by a turnaround in U.S. banking stocks that have helped lead the rally after an abysmal 2011.
