(FILES)The Wall Street sign near the front of the New York Stock Exchange is viewed in this August 5, 2011 file photo. US stocks opened modestly higher on August 23, 2013 as the market got a jolt from Microsoft's announcement that chief executive Steve Ballmer will retire within the next 12 months.The computing giant's shares soared 7.2 percent to $34.70 in early trade as Ballmer, who succeeded Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates in 2000, said the company would search for a new leader who can take charge of its "transformation to a devices and services company." Wall Street overall followed the global trend higher in markets. Thirty minutes into trade the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 4.25 points (0.03 percent) at 14,967.99. The broad-based S&P 500 added 1.41 (0.09 percent) at 1,658.37, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 11.13 (0.31 percent) to 3,649.84. The markets showed no hangover from the shock of the Nasdaq's three-hour shutdown Thursday on technology woes. AFP PHOTO/Stan HONDA
