Wall Street sells off as worries mount ahead of earnings season
Oct 11 (Reuters) - Wall Street indexes continued their slide in Thursday's volatile session as investors worried about rising interest rates and braced for a trade war hit to corporate earnings a day ahead of the quarterly reporting season kickoff. In its sixth consecutive day of declines, the S&P closed down 2.1 percent after shedding 3 percent in Wednesday's session. But at its session low, the benchmark fell 2.7 percent to its lowest level since early July. The Nasdaq narrowly avoided confirming a correction. During the session, it fell as much as 10.3 percent from its Aug. 29 closing record high but ended the day 9.6 percent below the record.
