Wall Street’s main indexes opened lower on Tuesday after Goldman Sachs missed quarterly profit estimates, worsening sentiment already dented by downbeat economic data from China earlier in the day.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 80.29 points, or 0.23 percent, at the open to 34,222.32.

The S&P 500 fell 0.01 percent to 3,999.09 points at the open, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 9.15 points, or 0.08 percent, to 11,070.00 at the opening bell.
