Wall St stocks end down for 2nd day


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks closed down for a second straight session on Wednesday as Libya's violence sent oil prices briefly to $100 a barrel and tech shares sank, adding credence to calls for a market correction.

    Based on the latest available data, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 106.56 points, or 0.87 percent, to end unofficially at 12,106.23. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 7.93 points, or 0.60 percent, at 1,307.51. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 33.43 points, or 1.21 percent, at 2,722.99.
