The Impact on Major Indexes: Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 64.79 points, or 0.18%, at the open to 35,111.36. The S&P 500 opened lower by 18.14 points, or 0.41%, at 4,450.69, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 104.34 points, or 0.76%, to 13,633.65 at the opening bell.
