US open: Stocks register early losses following sixth-straight losing week for Dow
Wall Street stocks were firmly in the red yet again on Monday following a sixth-straight losing week for the blue-chip Dow Jones.
As of 1520 BST, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.09% at 32,541.56, while the S&P 500 was 1.78% weaker at 4,050.01 and the Nasdaq-100 futures came out the gate 2.39% softer at 11,854.58.
The Dow opened 357.81 points lower on Monday, extending losses recorded in the previous session despite a slightly better than expected nonfarm payrolls report.
Shares in several big-tech names were trading lower early on Monday following a wild week on the Street as market participants weighed up both rising interest rates and the potential for slower economic growth.
Also in focus, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note eased off slightly to 3.117% shortly after the opening bell.
On the macro front, US wholesale inventories increased 2.3% month-on-month in March to $840.3bn, according to the Census Bureau, while February's increase was revised to 2.8% to $821.1bn.
In the corporate space, carmaker Ford announced over the weekend that will sell 8.0m shares in Rivian Automotive, while Palantir stock slumped 21% after issuing weak revenue guidance.
