US: Wall Street opens lower after robust Nov jobs report

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 129.6 points, or 0.38 per cent, at the open to 34,265.45.
The S&P 500 fell 36.4 points, or 0.89 per cent, at the open to 4,040.17, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 174.1 points, or 1.52 per cent, to 11,308.375 at the opening bell. REUTERS
