US stocks opened down during this week’s first day of trading, but then recovered and circled for a while around the zero. Towards the end of the day they fell back sharply.

North Sea Brent oil fell by more than two dollars per barrel to its lowest level since 2010 American oil also dropped, 8 cents per barrel. The shares for the major oil companies led the late fall. The world’s largest oil company, Exxon, fell 0.8 percent.

The Dow Jones industrial index fell 1.4 percent and the Nasdaq composite index fell 1.5 percent.
