U.S. stocks opened lower Tuesday, as investors returned from the long holiday weekend to more uncertainty about the impact of the U.K.’s vote to quit the European Union. Cautiousness ahead of the closely watched U.S. jobs report on Friday along with a sharp drop in crude-oil prices weighed on risk appetite. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 65 points, or 0.4%, to 17,885, the S&P 500 index fell 8 points, or 0.4%, to 2,094, while the Nasdaq Composite Index lost 25 points, or 0.5%, to 4,838.
