国际英语新闻：Wall Street falls on economic woes

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Wall Street fell again Monday as investors' concern about the mounting global financial crisis offset China's 586 billion U.S. dollars stimulus package.

    U.S. stocks' early rally followed advance in Asia and Europe after China announced plans to boost its economy through a mix of spending, subsidies, looser credit policies and tax cuts. Commodity and energy stocks led the big board higher.

However, investors' concern was refreshed as the U.S. government on Monday provided another 40 billion dollars financial assistance to the insurance giant American International Group, which sent the bailout up to around 150 billion dollars, after the company reported a loss of 24.47 billion dollars for the third quarter.

    General Motors Corp., the U.S. largest automaker, was downgraded to "sell" at Deutsche Bank AG. Deutsche Bank also cut its target price to zero. Shares of GM tumbled 30 percent.

    Circuit City Stores Inc., the second-biggest U.S. electronics retailer, filed under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code.

    The Dow Jones industrial average fell 73.27 points, or 0.82 percent, to 8,870.54. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 11.78 points, or 1.26 percent, to 919.21. The Nasdaq Composite Index was off 30.66 points, or 1.86 percent, to 1,616.74.
