Stock Market Slumps in Sharp One-Day Selloff
NEW YORK AP One of the sharpest selloffs in years hit the market Tuesday, with leading steels motors and industrials dropping 1 to 14 points and many hitting new lows since last fall. Heavy offerings appeared before midday, the tape lagged during a midday swoon, and a 40 minute burst of liquidation pushed key averages to session bottoms before easing. Around 2.5 million shares changed hands, the busiest since February, with traders attributing the decline to expectations of a later business peak and ongoing foreign concerns.
