The U.S. market sell-off showed no signs of easing on Wednesday, extending losses for fourth straight day as investors shunned risky assets and fled to safe havens amid deepening concerns over the global economic growth. The equity markets mirrored continued slump in commodities prices on Wednesday, led by the biggest plunge in Copper since 2011, after the World Bank cut its economic growth forecasts for this year and next. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the session 1.06% lower at 17,427.09, the S&P 500 lost 0.58% to close at 2,011.27, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.48% to 4,639.32. Beaten-down commodity prices also weighed upon European markets on Wednesday. In Europe, energy and mining stocks led the decline following the prices of copper and oil. Meanwhile, Asian equities also ended lower as investors stayed on the sidelines amid deepening commodities rout and renewed concerns over world economic growth.
