(Reuters) - U.S. stocks opened sharply lower on Friday as weak economic data from China and Europe exacerbated global growth fears and added to nerves over the U.S.-China trade talks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 189.34 points, or 0.77 percent, at the open to 24,408.04.
The S&P 500 opened lower by 20.86 points, or 0.79 percent, at 2,629.68. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 83.96 points, or 1.19 percent, to 6,986.37 at the opening bell.
