(Reuters) - U.S. stocks opened lower on Thursday, after technology stocks fell, as fears of a trade war between the United States and China were sparked after President Donald Trump proposed 25 percent tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 77.37 points, or 0.31 percent, at the open to 25,256.45. The S&P 500 opened lower by 12.88 points, or 0.46 percent, at 2,800.48. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 47.76 points, or 0.62 percent, to 7,659.52 at the opening bell.
