Stocks are sharply lower on global economic concerns

Stocks and interest rates are extending their losses after consumer confidence dropped because of concerns about the economy.

The Conference Board says Tuesday its Consumer Confidence Index fell nearly 10 points to 52.9, down from a revised 62.7 in May. Economists had forecast only a modest drop.

U.S. markets were already down before the consumer report. They followed Asian markets, which fell after data showed that Japan’s recovery has slowed. European indexes fell after Greek workers walked off the job to protest budget cuts.

The Dow Jones industrial average is down 238 at 9,901. It had been down 175 ahead of the confidence report. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is down 27 at 1,047. The Nasdaq composite index is down 66 at 2,154.

SAN DIEGO, June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. HALO today announced clinical trial results showing that the addition of its proprietary rHuPH20 (recombinant human hyaluronidase, PH20) enzyme to three different mealtime insulin analogs accelerated their absorption.
