Wall St falls for second day as materials, tech weigh

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stocks fell on Thursday as upbeat economic data on jobs and housing failed to offset a selloff in the technology and materials sectors.

Technology stocks were weighed by networking/cloud computing companies after F5 Networks Inc gave a gloomy outlook, while energy and material stocks were pressured by a sharp decline in crude oil prices.

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 74.13 points, or 0.63 percent, at 11,751.16. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 9.72 points, or 0.76 percent, at 1,272.20. The Nasdaq Composite Index slid 32.31 points, or 1.19 percent, at 2,693.05.

The decline came a day after Wall Street suffered its worst drop in nearly two months on disappointing results from banks. Investors were concerned the slump may grow worse.
