U.S. stocks fell sharply, as fresh evidence of an economic slowdown in China added to investors' fears about the outlook for global growth. Energy and raw-materials producers were among the session's biggest decliners as commodity prices fell following a report showing China's industrial profits dropped 8.8% in August from a year earlier. The Dow lost 313 points, or 1.9%, to 16,002 and the S&P500 dropped 50 points, or 2.6%, to 1,882.
