U.S. benchmarks opened mostly lower Monday morning, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 down modestly, as the stock market remained focused on developments surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war. The Dow dipped about 0.2% and the S&P 500 slipped 0.1%, while technology-laden Nasdaq Composite rose less than 0.1% at the open, according to FactSet data. U.S. President Joe Biden said Saturday that Putin cannot remain in power, but the White House has walked back the remark, insisting regime change in Russia is not U.S. policy.
