It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close. This Is A Good Thing?

Believe it or not, this is better than it was.

 

Stocks pared their losses and Treasuries erased declines amid speculation investors overreacted to concern the Federal Reserve may curb stimulus efforts.  Chinese equities appeared to enter a bear market on concern a cash crunch will hurt the economy.  Chinese stocks tumbled to their lowest level in 20 months.

 

At one point today the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 228 points, a drop of over 2 percent from its close on Friday.  The Dow closed at 14659.56, down 139 points, a -.94% drop. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index closed at 1573.09, down 19.34 points, a -1.21% drop, but also paring an earlier in the day drop of over 2 percent.
