U.S. stocks were drifting lower after opening little changed in early Tuesday trade. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had opened up but moved modestly lower, 15 points, or about 0.1%, at 17,586.23.15, and the S&P 500 was off about a point, or less than 0.1% at 2,096, as investors traded cautiously ahead of a key jobs report set for Friday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq , which had been switching between small gains and losses at the open, was lower by about 4 points at about 5,111.
