U.S. stocks open lower as higher oil prices, Treasury yields continue to weigh on markets

U.S. stock indexes opened lower on Wednesday as a rise in oil prices and steady Treasury yields continue to push stocks lower, renewing fears over inflation and more interest-rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
