经济走软忧虑加重 全球股市再度下跌

Stock markets continued to fall across the globe on Friday, as investors showed new concern about the struggling U.S. economy and the stability of the European banking system.
 
Asian stock indexes dropped sharply, European exchanges followed suit and U.S. stock indexes retreated in early trading in New York.
 
Analysts said that fear had overtaken stock trading, with many investors worried that officials in Europe and the U.S. will not be able to solve vexing economic and government financing issues.
 
In Europe, the fear is that banks are not strong enough to handle the continent's debt contagion sweeping through its financially troubled governments. Investors are also worried that U.S. politicians will not be able to reach agreement on long-term spending cuts to trim the country's burgeoning debt, or boost the economy enough to cut the nation's unemployment rolls.
