(Reuters) - Major U.S. stock indexes opened about half a percent lower on Monday, starting the second half of 2018 on a grim note due to mounting worries of a tariff war between the United States and its trading partners.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 109.88 points, or 0.45 percent, at the open to 24,161.53. The S&P 500 opened lower by 13.42 points, or 0.49 percent, at 2,704.95. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 58.41 points, or 0.78 percent, to 7,451.90 at the opening bell.
