The
Standard & Poor’s 500 Index retreated the most since April 2014,
wiping out a gain for the year, as global equities sold off amid concern
over fallout from the Greek financial crisis.
The
S&P 500 Index sank 2.1 percent to 2,057.71 at 4 p.m. in New York,
falling toward its average price for the past 200 days. The Dow lost
348.66 points, or 1.9 percent, to 17,598.02 and erased its gain for the
year. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 2.4 percent, the most since April
2014. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index surged 37
percent, poised for its biggest increase since April 2013.
Greece
closed its banks and imposed capital controls, a measure that will
deepen the country’s recession and risk driving it toward an exit from
the euro. Talks over bailout aid with international creditors collapsed
late Friday, as Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras unexpectedly called a July
5 referendum on the austerity demanded by creditors. The European
Central Bank froze the level of emergency aid available to Greek lenders
Sunday.
