US stock indices opened lower on Monday, as the market continued to focus on the US political developments after last week's events.

 

Thousands of Trump supporters last week stormed the US Capitol building, which was condemned by congressional officials and world leaders.

 

Despite US President Donald Trump denouncing the event and his calls on supporters to return home, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on Vice President Mike Pence to impeach Trump.
