Wall Street opened a shortened trading week with sharp losses as investors monitored the war in the Middle East and escalating trade friction between the United States and Canada, according to CNBC.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 500 points on Tuesday as U.S. markets resumed trading following the Labor Day holiday, CNBC reported.
According to the outlet, the decline came as investors tracked developments in the ongoing war in the Middle East, which has contributed to a climb in oil prices.
