April 20 (Reuters) – Wall Street’s main indexes opened muted on Monday after a record rally last week, as escalating U.S.-Iran tensions threatened the fragile ceasefire and dented investor sentiment.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 25.1 points, or 0.05%, at the open to 49,422.37. The S&P 500 fell 9.0 points, or 0.13%, at the open to 7,117.05, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 51.0 points, or 0.21%, to 24,417.528 at the opening bell.
