Aug 31 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes opened lower on Monday after military strikes between the U.S. and Iran drove up oil prices, fanning inflation worries as the interest-rate outlook turns more hawkish.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 97.4 points, or 0.18%, at the open to 53,462.6. The S&P 500 fell 14.2 points, or 0.18%, at the open to 7,697.52, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 43.9 points, or 0.17%, to 26,358.559.
