Dow slides +4%, ends below 11,000
NEW YORK: Stocks took a late day turn for the worse on Monday, with the Dow's loss ballooning to nearly 500 points, amid increased fear about a collapse of AIG and the stability of the US financial system.In the final minutes of trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell below the key 11000 mark and the S&P 500 dropped below 1200.The Dow ended down 504.48 points, or 4.42%, at 10,917.51. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ended down 58.17 points, or 4.65%, at 1,193.53. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 81.36 points, or 3.60%, at 2,179.91.Following Lehman Brothers bankruptcy filing, attention turned to American International Group, once the world's largest insurer, whose stock fell more than 53% on concern that it may need to raise capital to cover mortgage-related losses.That pushed shares of financial services companies down sharply, deepening the decline in the three major indices.Updated at 2010 hrs (IST): Stocks slid on Monday as the bankruptcy filing by investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc and cascading fears about the stability of other major financial institutions spooked global markets.Shares of financial services companies, including insurer American International Group, led the slide amid mounting fears about the impact of the year-long credit crisis on the economy and the profit outlook.AIG, an insurer, and savings and loan company Washington Mutual are among other major companies investors fear are threatened by the credit maelstrom and may have to step up efforts to raise capital to shore up their balance sheets.
The concerns about the stability of other firms followed the US government's decision not to provide guarantees for any deal to help Lehman avert bankruptcy."Investors are uncertain about what it means for the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve to have drawn the line in the sand now and reintroduced the concept of moral hazard," said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist, at Federated Investors in New York. "Those who have said we're at the bottom a thousand points ago are probably smoking dope."AIG shares tumbled 42% to $7 on the New York Stock Exchange, while those of Lehman plummeted 94% to 22 cents in composite trading. Washington Mutual dropped 13.9% to $2.35.Dow Jones industrial average fell 299.22 points (2.62%) to 11,122.77. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 40.18 points (1.78%) to 2,221.09.Merrill shares climbed 27.6% to $21.75, but Bank of America shares dropped 13.9% to $29.05.
