U.S. stocks opened mostly lower on Tuesday as investors wait to hear from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who will speak at the Economic Club of Washington D.C. in the afternoon. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.18% fell by 10 points, or 0.3%, to 4,101.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.03% was flat at 11,880. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.29% was off 170 points, or 0.5%, at 33,734. U.S. stocks have been trending lower since Friday’s blockbuster jobs report, which revived doubts about whether the Fed has done enough to quell inflation.
