Stocks fell on Wednesday, led lower by energy stocks, after a sliding euro and rising Italian bond yields heightened concerns about Europe's debt crisis, curbing investors' appetite for risky assets.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI was down 109.14 points, or 0.91 percent, at 11,845.80. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX was down 12.45 points, or 1.02 percent, at 1,213.28. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC was down 40.32 points, or 1.56 percent, at 2,538.95.
