Stocks slip on concerns euro crisis will spread

US stocks fall after Ireland asks for help from the European Union, traders ask who's next

NEW YORK (AP) — Stock prices and the euro fell Monday as investors worried that Ireland's request for financial assistance may not be the last bailout needed in Europe.

Ireland formally asked for help from its neighbors over the weekend after falling into a financial crisis brought on by mounting losses at three of its nationalized banks. Details of the loan package were still being worked out, but Irish Finance Minister Brian Lenihan has said the rescue would not exceed euro100 billion ($137 billion).

It was the second time that the European Union has come to the rescue of one of its 16 members that use the euro. In May, the EU and the IMF committed $140 billion to Greece to prevent the country from defaulting on its debt. Euro zone members have been willing to prop up each other's finances in hopes of avoiding a financial crisis that could cause the value of the euro to plummet.

The request initially pushed stocks higher in Europe. But the Euro Stoxx 50, an index of blue chip companies in countries that use the euro, fell 0.7 percent in afternoon trading there.
