How the major stock indexes fared on Wednesday   Jan, 20

By AP

Investors' growing anxiety about China's attempts to slow its economy and disappointing earnings reports in the U.S. led to another selloff in stocks. The concern in the markets is that China's drive to clamp down on bank lending could endanger a global economic recovery. That helped send the dollar higher against other currencies and also pushed commodity prices lower, which hurt the stocks of energy and materials companies.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 122.28, or 1.1 percent, to 10,603.15.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 12.19, or 1.1 percent, to 1,138.04.

The Nasdaq composite index fell 29.15, or 1.3 percent, to 2,291.25.

For the week:

The Dow is down 6.50, or 0.1 percent.

The S&P is up 2.01, or 0.2 percent.

The Nasdaq is up 3.26, or 0.1 percent.

For the year:

The Dow is up 175.10, or 1.7 percent.

The S&P is up 22.94, or 2.1 percent.

The Nasdaq is up 22.10, or 1.0 percent.
