Stocks slide despite crude inventory increase


Despite a rise in crude
inventories, investor sentiment was bearish as all major markets ended the day
in red.

The Energy Department recorded a rise in crude
inventories for the second week in a row.

Crude oil futures dropped below the $60 mark as Energy
Dept. announces an increase in inventories.
