Wall Street drops, ends January with sharp losses

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A selloff in emerging markets sent a cold chill down Wall Street, triggering a slide on Friday and making January its worst month since May 2012 after one of its best years in more than a decade.

The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> was down 149.70 points, or 0.94 percent, to end unofficially at 15,698.91. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> was down 11.61 points, or 0.65 percent, to finish unofficially at 1,782.58. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> was down 19.25 points, or 0.47 percent, to close unofficially at 4,103.88.

For the week, the Dow fell 1.1 percent, the S&P 500 slipped 0.4 percent and the Nasdaq dropped 0.6 percent. In January, the Dow slumped 5.3 percent, the S&P 500 lost 3.6 percent and the Nasdaq fell 1.7 percent. January marked the worst month for the Dow and the S&P 500 since May 2012, and the worst for the Nasdaq since October of that year.
