Major indexes in the US stocks market opened higher on Thursday as indexes are trying to recover from their three consecutive days of losses.

The Dow Jones was up 45 points to 33,941 at 9.34 a.m. EDT (1334GMT) with Coca-Cola and Microsoft adding 0.3% and 0.7%, respectively.

All three indexes had fallen three consecutive days last week to recover in remaining days of the week, as investors wonder if that could be the case this week.

The recent increase in indexes came after VIX volatility index fell 5.1% to 21.05 level, and they could have room to increase further if volatility would fall below 20.
