Sept 9 (Reuters) - The main U.S. stock indexes opened lower on Wednesday as oil prices surged past the market-sensitive $100-a-barrel level for the first time since July due to deepening tensions in the Middle East.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 78.2 points, or 0.15%, at the open to 52,707.9. The S&P 500 fell 12.8 points, or 0.17%, at the open to 7,660.68, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 96.4 points, or 0.36%, to 26,325.061.
