Euro fund uncertainty weighs on Wall Street


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Major stock indexes extended losses in midday trading on Thursday on concerns whether European leaders could reach a deal on further strengthening the region's rescue fund.

    The Dow Jones industrial average lost 74.47 points, or 0.65 percent, to 11,430.15. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 8.40 points, or 0.69 percent, to 1,201.48. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 33.79 points, or 1.30 percent, to 2,570.25.

    Sources in Germany's ruling coalition said a weekend meeting will not reach a decision on leveraging the euro zone rescue fund.
