New York--US stocks fell in opening trade Monday after Greece voters placed the leftist, anti-austerity party Syriza in power in a vote that could spell more turbulence for markets.
Ten minutes into trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 82.46 points (0.47 percent) at 17,590.14.
The broader S&P 500 lost 8.94 (0.44 percent) at 2,042.88, while the Nasdaq Composite sagged 18.45 points (0.39 percent) to 4,739.43.
"Investors can expect Greek-led market volatility for at least six months until a Syriza-led government is better understood," said Tom Elliott, International Investment Strategist at London-based financial advisor deVere Group.
