World stocks hit lowest in almost 2 years
LONDON (Reuters) - World stocks fell to their lowest in almost two years on Tuesday as fresh concerns about the financial sector and growth outlook prompted investors to dump risky assets.
By 8:45 a.m. British time, the MSCI world equity index fell as low as 330.12, hitting its lowest since September 2006 and bringing losses this year to more than 18 percent.
