World stocks keep falling

Published March 2, 2007

LONDON, March 1: Turbulent world stock markets fell again on Thursday as another wave of anxiety spread from Asia to Europe and led to further losses in the United States.

Wall Street dived at the open before recovering slightly. In Europe markets gained early in the day, plunged in the afternoon but were off lows at the close of trading.

In Asia, the aftershocks from a stock market plunge on Tuesday reverberated around the region, pushing Tokyo and Shanghai back into negative territory.—-AFP
