US stocks have opened slightly lower after the Federal Reserve reported an unexpected decline in the nation's industrial production in October.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average on Friday was down 7.22 points (0.06 per cent) at 12,535.16.
The broad-market S&P 500 edged down 0.35 point (0.03 per cent) to 1,352.98, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite slipped 3.30 (0.12 per cent) to 2,833.63.
US industrial output fell 0.4 per cent in October largely because of the impact of the devastating superstorm Sandy, which blasted the industry-heavy northeast at the end of the month, the Fed said.
Most analysts expected an increase of 0.1 per cent. Weak for much of the year, industrial production had climbed by 0.2 per cent in September after a contraction in August.
On Thursday, stocks ended slightly lower in volatile, pulled down in part by Walmart's disappointing earnings.
The Dow lost 0.23 per cent, the S&P 500 lost 0.16 per cent and the Nasdaq slipped 0.35 per cent.
