NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks stepped higher at the open on Wednesday, as investors waited for data on home sales and speeches from two Federal Reserve officials. Chart watchers kept an eye on the S&P 500 index as it again traded around its Jan. 15 record close of 1,848.38. The benchmark index topped that level intraday on Monday and Tuesday but couldn't close above it. The S&P 500 was last up 4 points to 1,849, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 34 points to 16,214. The Nasdaq Composite tacked on 15 points to 4,302.
