2 YESTERDAY IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKETS Global Ticker Daily Change Chinese Market Tumbles; U.S. Stocks Decline amid NYSE Glitch The Standard & Poor s 500 Index fell to a four-month low amid concern that China s equities rout will hurt growth in the world s second-largest economy, and Federal Reserve minutes indicated officials acknowledged the potential risks from overseas crises. Raw-materials, banks and semiconductor shares were among the worst performers. The S&P 500 fell 1.7 percent to 2, at 4 p.m. in New York, its lowest close since March 11. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost points, or 1.5 percent, to 17,515.42, a five-month low. The Nasdaq Composite Index declined 1.8 percent. The New York Stock Exchange halted trading for 3 1/2 hours because of a computer malfunction, forcing traders to route orders elsewhere. The suspension, lasting from 11:32 a.m. to just after 3 p.m., dropped the largest U.S. share platform out of the network of trading systems that make up the American equity market. Greece s financial crisis and now China s equity market slide have diverted attention from U.S. economic data and the path of the Fed s monetary policy. The S&P 500 is down 4 percent since its May record. S&P % Dow Jones -1.47% Nasdaq -1.75% Stoxx % FTSE % Dax % Crude Oil -1.18% Gold +0.31% NYSE:BABA -2.11% ETR:DTE +1.08% NYSE:MRK +1.10%
