U.S. stocks are opening lower a day after the market broke its longest losing streak in more than a year.

Stocks suffered this month as weak economic news dampened hopes for a speedy economic recovery. The Dow Jones industrial average is down 5 percent since June began.

Unless shares recover sharply Friday, they are on track for their sixth straight weekly loss — the longest down series since the fall of 2002.

Global markets are mixed amid weak trade numbers from China and an impasse over Greece's debt crisis.
