U.S. stocks opened lower on Monday as investors were cautious following six straight weeks of gains. Last week’s surprisingly strong jobs report increased the odds of a Federal Reserve rate hike in December. The S&P 500 opened 10 points, or 0.5%, lower to 2,089. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 88 points, or 0.5%, to 17,822. The Nasdaq Composite began the day down 26 points, or 0.5%, at 5,120.
