Stocks posted sharp declines across the
board Wednesday, with the Dow ending below 15,000, following weakness in
overseas markets and amid concerns over when the Fed will start
tapering its bond-buying program on the heels of several mixed economic
reports.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered its worst one-day drop in nearly two months, tumbling 216.95 points, or 1.43 percent, to close at 14,960.59, led by Alcoa and Walt Disney. The Dow has declined 1.92 percent over the last two days, logging its biggest two-day drop since November.
The S&P 500 slumped 22.48 points, or 1.38 percent, to end at 1,608.90. And the Nasdaq dropped 43.78 points, or 1.27 percent, to finish at 3,401.48.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, spiked above 17.
STI will drop below its support today!
