US stocks dived Friday as investors confronted the fallout from Dubai’s debt problems that have rocked global markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 183.35 points (1.75 percent) to 10,281.05 at 1500 GMT.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite slid 44.40 points (2.04 percent) to 2,131.65 and the broad-market Standard & Poor’s 500 retreated 22.52 points (2.03 percent) to 1,088.11.
