REUTERS - U.S. stocks opened lower for a second day in a row on Wednesday as China weakened its currency further, increasing worries about a global economic slowdown.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 146.51 points, or 0.84 percent, to 17,256.33. The S&P 500 lost 16.39 points, or 0.79 percent, to 2,067.68 and the Nasdaq composite dropped 44.77 points, or 0.89 percent, to 4,992.02.
