Feb 27 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes opened

lower on Friday as AI anxiety dragged on tech stocks, with the

Nasdaq bracing for its steepest monthly drop since March 2025,

while hotter-than-expected inflation data also dampened

sentiment.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 245.6 points,

or 0.50%, at the open to 49253.57. The S&P 500 fell 52.3

points, or 0.76%, at the open to 6856.54​, while the Nasdaq

Composite dropped 263.0 points, or 1.15%, to 22615.429

at the opening bell.
