U.S. stocks fall; Dow sees triple-digit loss
Jobless claims fall to seven-year low

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The U.S. stock market moved lower as a decision by one of Portugal’s biggest banks to delay a debt payment reminded investors of the fragility of Europe’s banking system.
Investor worries centered on Espirito Santo Financila Group SA . Better-than-expected U.S. jobless claims did little to counter that. The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits in the first week of July fell to a seven-year low.
The S&P 500 (SNC:SPX) fell 13 points, or 0.7%, to 1,959.18. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI:DJIA) dropped 114 points, or 0.7% to 16,871.17. The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQ:COMP) shed 39 points, or 0.9%, to 4,380.01. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-stocks-futures-plunge-as-fed-minutes-sink-in-2014-07-10
