Wall St slides on economic jitters, tech valuations


The Dow fell 173.65 points, or 0.37%, to 46,738.65, the S&P 500 lost 41.97 points, or 0.62%, at 6,678.35 and the Nasdaq dropped 269.47 points, or 1.17%, to 22,784.52.

NEW YORK: US stocks extended their selloff on Friday as investors turned the page on a roller-coaster week with economic worries, the longest-ever federal government shutdown, and sky-high tech stock valuations dampening risk appetite.

All three major US equity indices were lower, with the tech-laden Nasdaq showing the steepest percentage loss.
