Wall Street opens lower on oil, ruble drop


    (Reuters) - U.S. stocks opened lower on Tuesday as a further slide in crude oil prices and the Russian ruble sent traders fleeing from risky assets on global economic concerns.

    The Dow Jones industrial average fell 98.87 points, or 0.58 percent, to 17,081.97, the S&P 500 lost 10.93 points, or 0.55 percent, to 1,978.7 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 35.68 points, or 0.77 percent, to 4,569.48.
