(Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell at the open on Friday due to disappointing earnings reports from blue-chip companies and as robust U.S. jobs data boosted bond yields and bolstered expectations that the pace of interest rates hikes could pick up.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 202.49 points, or 0.77 percent, to 25,984.22. The S&P 500 lost 17.61 points, or 0.62 percent, to 2,804.37. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 40.92 points, or 0.55 percent, to 7,344.94.
