Wall St weighed by resource, tech shares


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks extended losses on Monday as a broad pullback in commodities weighed on resource shares and profit-taking hurt big-cap technology companies.

    * Data showing that manufacturing in New York state shrank in June at a more severe rate than expected was an additional headwind for stock investors looking for more signs that the end of the recession was nearer.

    * The Dow Jones industrial average fell 137.02 points, or 1.56 percent, to 8,662.24. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index slipped 15.55 points, or 1.64 percent, to 930.66. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 37.03 points, or 1.99 percent, to 1,821.77.
