Stocks are opening lower on more signs that China's economy is weakening and Europe is slowing.
The disconcerting news from overseas overshadowed another encouraging jobs report from the U.S. Labor Department.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 69 points at 13,057 shortly after the opening bell Thursday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 9 points to 1,393 and the Nasdaq composite fell 19 points to 3.056.
