New Delhi, Jan. 21 -- US stock indices opened higher slightly on Wednesday as investors digested President Donald Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos where he retreated his demand for Greenland acquisition.

At the open, the S&P 500 rose 0.30%, the Nasdaq Composite index added 0.21% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.33%.

Trump's comments unsettled stock markets earlier in the week.

All three major US indices tumbled nearly 2% on Tuesday, as investors flocked to safe-haven assets after Trump threatened to implement new tariffs on European nations until the US is allowed to buy Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.
