U.S. stocks opened flat on Tuesday as analysts posited that the postelection rally has run out of steam. The S&P 500 index was little-changed at 2,202, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was steady at 19,096. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 2, or less than 0.1%, to 5,371. A sharp drop in oil prices helped restrain gains, with U.S.-traded crude futures traded nearly 4% lower ahead of a crucial meeting of the Organization for the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which begins Wednesday.
