Stocks Are Down Sharply on Unemployment and Factory Reports

Stocks fell at the opening, then gathered downward momentum after the government reported that the number of people seeking unemployment benefits rose last week and that demand at the nation's factories has fallen by the largest amount in nearly two years.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.67 percent from 3.74 percent late Wednesday.

The Dow fell 302.42, or 2.79 percent, to 10,528.65. The blue chips plunged nearly 778 points Monday, logged a partial rebound Tuesday and finished moderately lower Wednesday.

Broader stock indicators also fell Thursday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 36.67, or 3.16 percent, to 1,124.39, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 66.77, or 3.23 percent, to 2,002.63.

The Labor Department's report that initial claims for unemployment benefits rose by 1,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 497,000 unnerved investors worried about not only about strains in the financial market but also the effect on the broader economy.
