Fears of U.S. government shutdown, default send stocks lower
NEW YORK, Sept. 27 () -- Fears of a U.S. government shutdown sent stocks tumbling Friday, closing down for the week for the first time this month.The Senate sent the House a stopgap spending measure stripped of defunding for the Affordable Care Act, and it was unclear what the House would do. Spending authority expires Monday, and without a continuing resolution or fiscal 2014 budget in place, non-essential government services will be suspended. Traders also were jittery over the possibility the federal government will go into default in mid-October if Congress fails to approve an increase in the debt ceiling.At the close Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average was off 70.06 points or 0.46 percent to 15,258.24, and the Standard & Poor's 500 was down 6.92 points or 0.41 percent to 1,691.75.
