Today’s Markets

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 150 points, or 0.94%, to 15698, the S&P 500 fell 11.6 points, or 0.65%, to 1783 and the Nasdaq Composite slumped 19.3 points, or 0.47%, to 4104.

The broad S&P 500 rallied 30% last year. So far, 2014 isn’t off to a great start. The broad S&P 500 slid 3.5% in January in its worst annual starter since 2010. Adding to the bearish mood, the broad-market barometer also snapped a four-month winning streak.
