U.S. stocks opened lower Monday, declining amid concerns over an economic slowdown in China and a sign of manufacturing weakness in the U.S. economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average /zigman2/quotes/210598065/realtime DJIA -0.47% and S&P 500 /zigman2/quotes/210599714/realtime SPX -0.27% were each trading down around 0.5% soon after the opening bell, while the Nasdaq Composite /zigman2/quotes/210598365/realtime COMP +0.14% slid 0.3%, according to FactSet data, at last check.
