Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P Live Updates for July 30

Asian stocks opened lower amid speculation investors are trimming some of their holdings before a rush of events in coming days including major central bank decisions, key economic data and earnings from US megacap companies.

Equities slipped in Japan and Australia in early trading, while futures signaled a decline in Hong Kong. US stock futures edged lower in Asia hours following a rotation in the American shares that drove the Nasdaq 100 to the brink of a correction. The S&P 500 closed little changed and small caps slipped.
