Wall Street opens lower on Greece worries


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks opened sharply lower on Tuesday as Greece's debt problems continued to rattle investors, with the Nasdaq dropping 2 percent.

    Striking public workers in Greece challenged their government's bailout-for-austerity deal with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund as investors worried about Athens' ability to enforce deeper spending cuts.

    The Dow Jones industrial average fell 116.31 points, or 1.04 percent, at 11,035.52. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 13.40 points, or 1.11 percent, at 1,188.86. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 43.32 points, or 1.73 percent, at 2,455.42.
