Wall Street’s main indexes opened lower on Tuesday, dragged down by renewed weakness in AI-linked stocks and a rebound in oil prices, while investors braced for major corporate earnings reports this week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 6.8 points, or 0.01%, to 51,959.21 at the open. The S&P 500 fell 11.7 points, or 0.15%, to 7,679.01​, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 98.0 points, or 0.37%, to 26,332.921.
