Weak US economic data rekindled investor concerns about the outlook for growth and earnings. In speeches, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard and Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester both stressed the need to raise rates beyond 5% to tackle inflation. Shares of IBM fell 3.3% after Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock to "equal weight" from "overweight." Microsoft's shares slid 1.9% after it announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs. At the close of trade, the Dow Jones index fell 614 points or 1.8%. The S&P 500 index lost 1.6%. And the Nasdaq index shed 138 points or 1.2%.
