Wall Street's big March rally was officially on hold Monday after the White House rejected turnaround plans from General Motors Corp. and Chrysler.
Fears of an automaker bankruptcy have been looming over investors for months, and the latest developments made the market even more uneasy about the industry. GM is getting 60 days worth of financing to restructure, while Chrysler is getting up to $6 billion and 30 days to complete a deal with Italian automaker Fiat. The Obama administration also replaced GM's CEO Rick Wagoner with the company's chief operating officer, Fritz Henderson.
President Barack Obama is scheduled to make an official announcement at the White House later this morning.
In mid-morning trading, the Dow fell 267.06, or 3.4 percent, to 7,509.12. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 28.28, or 3.5 percent, to 787.66, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 57.58, or 3.7 percent, to 1,487.62.
