Wall Street opens lower on Brexit hangover

REUTERS - Wall Street opened sharply lower on Monday, led by financial stocks, as investors tread cautiously after a vote for Britain to end its European Union membership on Friday damaged confidence and sparked a massive equities selloff.

The Dow Jones industrial average was down 141.52 points, or 0.81 percent, at 17,259.23, the S&P 500 15.22 points, or 0.75 percent, at 2,022.19 and the Nasdaq Composite 43.33 points, or 0.92 percent, at 4,664.65.
