Wall St indexes open lower as oil prices exceed US$100

The main U.S. stock indexes opened lower on Wednesday as oil prices surged past the market-sensitive US$100-a-barrelmark (HK$780) level for the first time since July due to deepening tensions in the Middle East.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 78.2 points, or 0.15 percent, at the open to 52,707.9. The S&P 500 fell 12.8 points, or 0.17 percent, at the open to 7,660.68, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 96.4 points, or 0.36 percent, to 26,325.061.
