Wall Street opened lower on Tuesday as investors reacted to a hotter-than-expected inflation report and mounting concerns that the ongoing US-Iran conflict could continue driving oil prices higher and delaying potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. The S&P 500 fell 0.39%, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.66%.
