"Deadly explosions in Boston and disappointing China economic growth rocked US stocks Monday, sending the broad-market S&P 500 down more than 2.0 percent. Amid sharp sell-offs in commodities like oil and gold, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 265.86 points (1.79 percent) to 14,599.20. The S&P 500 index dropped 36.49 (2.30 percent) to 1,552.36, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite shed 30.64 (1.94 percent at 1,546.58. At least two people were killed and 22 wounded when two explosions struck near the finish line of the Boston Marathon about an hour before the markets closed. "Sellers reacted to the news by pushing equities to fresh lows," Briefing.com analysts said."
