US stocks down to close day of wild swings on Wall Street

New York (dpa) - A midday rally erased some losses but still leaves major US stock indices in negative territory to close Monday's session after the trading day started with a big selloff.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 3.58 per cent, half of the blue-chip index's losses in the opening minutes of trading.

The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index is off 3.9 per cent.

Bloomberg News describes the see-sawing session as one of the most volatile in Wall Street history.
