Wall Street's Tenuous Start Amid Global Tensions

Wall Street's primary indexes began the week quietly after significant gains last week, impacted by mounting U.S.-Iran tensions.

This geopolitical uncertainty casts doubt over the ceasefire and has influenced investors' attitudes negatively.

The Dow Jones opened with a slight drop of 25.1 points to 49,422.37, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq faced modest declines at the opening bell.
