Stocks Are Sharply Lower on Disappointing Retail Sales

A very anemic reading on retail sales and worries about the banking industry pounded stocks early Wednesday. The Commerce Department said retail sales dropped 2.7 percent, more than double the 1.2 percent decline analysts expected.

In midmorning trading, the Dow fell 236.87, or 2.80 percent, to 8,211.69.

Broader indexes also declined. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 24.84, or 2.85 percent, to 846.95, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 38.59, or 2.50 percent, to 1,507.87.

Bond prices rose as stocks retreated. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 2.18 percent from 2.30 percent late Tuesday.

The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices fell.

Light, sweet crude declined 17 cents to $37.61 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
