The
Standard & Poor’s 500 Index slumped the most in two months as
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen signaled the economy is nearly ready
for higher borrowing costs, while the scale of the European Central
Bank’s additional stimulus measures disappointed some investors.
Equities
fell to their lowest level in almost three weeks as investors grapple
with an array of influences, including divergent policies from major
central banks, uneven economic data and turbulence in commodities
markets. Energy shares slid Thursday for a second session, despite a
rebound in oil prices, and health-care companies tumbled for the third
time in four days.
The
S&P 500 fell 1.4 percent to 2,049.78 at 4 p.m. in New York,
following a 1.1 percent slide yesterday. The gauge sank below its
average price during the past 200 days for the first time in three
weeks. A measure volatility saw its biggest jump in two months.
