The S&P 500 edged up 0.1% in the first few minutes of trading, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq were little changed. Small-company stocks were slightly lower after surging a day earlier. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.55%. Pfizer was up 1.3% after delivering a strong profit report. Tesla fell 1% after its CEO Elon Musk tweeted that a deal to sell 100,000 cars to Hertz had not been signed yet.
