U.S. stock indexes opened lower on Wednesday morning, struggling to recover ground after a four-day losing streak amid worries about the chances of an economic downturn in coming months.
“The recent run of macro data points in the U.S. continues to underscore relatively solid economic trends.

China on Wednesday announced a series of measures rolling back some of its most draconian anti-COVID-19 restrictions. People who test positive for the virus will be able to isolate at home rather than in overcrowded and unsanitary field hospitals, and schools where there have been no outbreaks must return to in-class teaching, according to the National Health Commission.
