Wall Street's main indexes opened lower on Wednesday, as a selloff in technology stocks continued and renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran overshadowed a tame May inflation reading.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 112.0 points, or 0.22%, to 50,760.12. The S&P 500 fell 36.1 points, or 0.49%, to 7,350.54​, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 166.8 points, or 0.65%, to 25,512.069 at the opening bell.
