New York, Dec 6, 2018 (AFP)
Wall Street opened sharply lower Thursday, joining a global stocks sell-off after the arrest of a key Chinese executive at Washington's request revived worries over trade tensions.
About three minutes into trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen 2.0 percent, nearly 500 points, to 24,532.25.
The broad-based S&P 500 sank 1.9 percent to 2,648.04, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index shed 2.2 percent to 7,002.02.
The drops came after the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Canada for extradition to the US in an investigation into suspected Iran sanctions violations by Huawei.
