Boeing, J&J, dismal China data drag Wall Street lower


The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 255.68 points, or 0.95%, to 26,770.2, the S&P 500 lost 11.75 points, or 0.39%, to 2,986.2 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 67.31 points, or 0.83%, to 8,089.54.

NEW YORK: Wall Street fell on Friday as negative headlines about Johnson & Johnson and Boeing, along with bleak economic data from China, soured investor risk appetite and offset generally positive corporate earnings.

All three major U.S. stock averages ended the session in the red, but the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq posted weekly gains. The blue-chip Dow was nominally lower than last week's close.
