Wall St adds losses after JPMorgan comments


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks tumbled further on Friday, with indexes sliding more than 2 percent after comments from JPMorgan Chase's chief executive that March was "a little tough."

    JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon made the comments in an interview with CNBC, sending the bank's shares to session lows, down 4 percent.

    Stocks had already been under pressure throughout the session as investors took profits following a recent surge and energy shares fell along with the price of oil.

    The Dow Jones industrial average fell 167.18 points, or 2.11 percent, to 7,757.38. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 16.97 points, or 2.04 percent, to 815.89. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 38.87 points, or 2.45 percent, at 1,548.13.
