Stocks close sharply lower on fears that Europe's debt crisis could spread to Italy and Spain

NEW YORK - Stocks are closing at their lowest level so far in July on fresh fears that Europe's debt crisis will spread beyond Greece to much larger economies.
Italy, Europe's third-largest economy, and Spain, its fourth-largest, could be sliding toward default.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 151 points, or 1.2 percent, to close at 12,506 Monday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 24, or 1.8 percent, to 1,319. The Nasdaq composite fell 57, or 2 percent, to 2,803.
In the U.S., lawmakers face an Aug. 2 deadline to avoid an unprecedented debt default. The government's surprisingly weak jobs report Friday compounded concerns about the U.S. economy.
Six stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was lighter than usual at 3.5 billion shares.
