Stocks tumble as oil falls on economic worries
Oil prices have tumbled 8 percent Monday to a new low for the year as investors have bet economic weakness will curb demand. That assessment is reinforcing fears that a slowing economy will further erode corporate profits.
The Dow Jones industrial average is ending down 125, or 1.5 percent, at the 8,474 level. Broader indexes fell more than 2 percent.
