U.S. stock indexes dropped at open on Monday, extending last week's bruising selloff, as concerns about soaring tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine hit risk appetite ahead of a key Federal Reserve policy meeting later this week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 194.76 points, or 0.57 per cent, at the open to 34,070.61.

The S&P 500 opened lower by 41.62 points, or 0.95 per cent, at 4,356.32, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 287.43 points, or 2.09 per cent, to 13,481.50 at the opening bell.
