U.S. equity markets experienced a negative start to the trading session as the benchmark S&P 500 index declined 0.8% at the opening bell.
The Nasdaq Composite index also registered early losses, falling 1% as technology stocks faced significant selling pressure.
The dual decline reflects ongoing market volatility amid macroeconomic uncertainties that continue to influence investor sentiment across major indices.
Market analysts are monitoring whether these opening losses will extend into a broader intraday downturn.
