Oil fell as the U.S. dollar index and treasuries rose on renewed worries about Europe that sent the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P lower.
“Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Francois Hollande disagreed on a timetable for starting joint oversight of Europe’s banking sector. German business confidence unexpectedly fell in September, the Ifo institute in Munich said. China’s manufacturers and retailers are less optimistic about sales than they were three months ago and are cutting jobs, according to the findings of a survey by New York-based researcher CBB International LLC.”
Among the big names making news in the market today were Facebook, GM, Apple, Lennar, Peregrine, and Sprint.
