US stocks opened mostly lower on Friday, extending two days of heavy losses, as concerns about the looming "fiscal cliff" at year-end continued to grip Wall Street.
Traders awaited US President Barack Obama's first major post-election statement later on Friday, in which he is expected to lay out his plan to avert the automatic spending cuts and tax increases that could drive the economy back into recession.
In opening trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 19.81 points (0.15 per cent) at 12,791.51.
The S&P 500-stock index edged down 0.14 (0.01 per cent) to 1377.37, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite added 3.15 (0.11 per cent) at 2898.73.
"Concerns about the prospect of a fiscal cliff compromise and renewed worries about a eurozone break-up, which are rooted in brinkmanship over additional aid for Greece, continue to weigh heavily on sentiment," said Patrick O'Hare at Briefing.com.
"The fiscal cliff factor, though, is superseding all else as a major market driver."
