Stocks are higher in early trading as investors found some encouragement from the latest batch of earnings reports. A handful of financial firms, including Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley, reported profits Wednesday for the July-September period. However the two banks also provided fresh reminders that the broader economy is struggling even as Wall Street rebounds. In the first minutes of trading, the Dow Jones industrial average is up 11.19, or 0.1 percent, at 10,052.67. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is up 2.43, or 0.2 percent, at 1,093.49. The Nasdaq composite index is up 6.90, or 0.3 percent, at 2,170.37.
