Stock market today: Markets headed for losses at open ahead of key US jobs report later this week
Shares of U.S. Steel tumbled 4.4% after Vice President Kamala Harris told a crowd in Pennsylvania on Monday that she opposed the company's planned sale to Japan's Nippon Steel. The Democratic presidential nominee's comments, which echo President Joe Biden's position, came after Nippon Steel Corp. said last week it would spend an additional $1.3 billion to upgrade facilities in Pennsylvania and Indiana, on top of a previous $1.4 billion commitment. Boeing's contract with the International Association of Machinists is set to expire just before midnight on Sept. 12.
