NEW YORK: US stocks Monday opened mostly lower after the record-setting sprint by leading indices before the long Easter holiday weekend.
Five minutes into trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which closed Thursday at a new all-time high, dropped 5.34 points (0.04 percent) to 14,573.20.
The broad-based S&P 500, which also notched a record performance Thursday, slipped 0.88 point (0.06 percent) to 1,568.31, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index put on a scant 0.04 (zero percent) at 3,267.56.
Briefing.com analyst Patrick O'Hare said trading would likely take its cue from data releases on manufacturing and construction.
"The second quarter, which begins today, is set to begin on a relatively flat note," O'Hare said.
