U.S. stocks opened little changed Monday, as investors digested a flurry of comments by Federal Reserve officials who continued to hint at the potential of an interest-rate hike in June. Meanwhile, a retreat in oil futures also weighed on risk appetite. The S&P 500 was down a point, or 0.1%, to 2,050. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 12 points, or 0.1%, to 17,486 at the open. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite began the session up 2 points, or 0.1%, at 4,772.
