US stocks opened slightly lower on Thursday as strong economic data raised the probability that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates as early as September, rather than later this year.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 24.49 points, or 0.14 percent, to 17,378.02, while the S&P 500 lost 1.38 points, or 0.07 percent, to 2,084.67.

The Nasdaq composite added 4.56 points, or 0.09 percent, to 5,048.94.
