Feb 23 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes opened lower on Monday as renewed tariff uncertainty unnerved investors after President Donald Trump announced a new 15% duty following a Supreme Court ruling that struck down his broader levies.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 89.4 points, or 0.18%, at the open to 49,536.54. The S&P 500 fell 8.3 points, or 0.12%, at the open to 6,901.25, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 45.1 points, or 0.20%, to 22,840.972 at the opening bell.
