US stocks opened lower on Tuesday, signaling another day in the doldrums as healthcare insurers tumbled and investors faced the chance that an interest rate cut will come later than hoped. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped about 1.1%, or over 450 points, setting the blue-chip index back from a bid to reach the key 40,000 level. The S&P 500 shed 0.9%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1.2%.
Hotter-than-expected manufacturing readings, which came alongside increases in prices paid, have given weight to growing doubts the Federal Reserve will cut rates in the first half of the year as the US economy shows surprising resilience. In economic news, the new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed job openings were marginally higher in February while hiring ticked up slightly.
