Markets End Week With a Losing Streak Intact
By NATHANIEL POPPER
Investors drove American stock indexes to their worst weekly performance of the year after excitement about Facebook’s stock offering failed to chase away the pessimism that has increasingly gripped investors in recent weeks.

Friday’s declines sealed the first string of three down weeks since the dark days of last summer when markets took a dive on the twin concerns of the European debt crisis and the prospect of a double-dip recession in the United States.

While those fears faded early this year, they were revived after Greek elections pushed the country toward leaving the euro currency and threatened to pull down the European banking system. More recently, several economic releases have suggested that growth in the United States and China may be weakening.
