Wall Street adds to losses after housing data
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stocks extended losses on Wednesday after data showed new single-family home sales fell slightly in October and the government revised sharply lower its estimate for the prior month’s sales, denting optimism over one of the brighter sectors of the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 104. 82 points, or 0. 81 percent, to 12,773. 31. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index lost 12. 81 points, or 0. 92 percent, to 1,386. 13. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 30. 76 points, or 1. 04 percent, to 2,937. 03. (Reporting by Chuck Mikolajczak; Editing by Kenneth Barry)
