Stocks tumbled sharply Monday, with the Dow touching a three-week low,as increasing worries over a government shutdown at the end of the day weighed on global markets.

Political turmoil in Italy also curbed investor sentiment after Silvio Berlusconi, the leader of the center-right party, ordered a number of his ministers to resign from the cabinet on Saturday, throwing the government into chaos.

U.S. Treasurys ticked higher, driven by a bid for safe haven assets.
Dow Jones Industrial Average

DJIA Dow Jones Industrial Average 15146.04 -112.20 -0.74%
S&P 500 S&P 500 Index 1681.50 -10.25 -0.61%
NASDAQ Nasdaq Composite Index 3760.91 -20.69 -0.55%
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined sharply. All 30 Dow components were lower, dragged by Goldman Sachs and Nike.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq also slumped. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, jumped above 17.

Most key S&P sectors were in the red, dragged by financials and energy.

Not everything will come to a halt right away but hundreds of thousands of government workers will be placed on unpaid leave, reports CNBC's Hampton Pearson.The country is facing its first government shutdown in 17 years, with only a few hours left for the House to pass a stand-alone spending bill which will fund the government through to December 15. Budget spending must be agreed by Congress before Tuesday, to prevent a shutdown which could force federal employees to take unpaid leave.

Last week, major averages logged their first weekly drop since August with investors nervous over a potential shutdown.

"Just as one arguing couple can ruin a large dinner party, the sight of a dysfunctional political process is an unwelcomed development for investor confidence in stocks," wrote Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group. "If and when a government shutdown starts, the clock will start ticking on lower GDP growth rates and reductions in corporate earnings."

Many government employees will be furloughed by the absence of a deal, and if the shutdown takes place the Labor Department will postpone issuing its closely-watched monthly employment report scheduled for Friday.


On the economic front, he pace of business activity in the U.S. Midwest increased to 55.7 in September from 53.0 in August, according to the Institute for Supply Management-Chicago. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the regional economy.

The Dallas Federal Reserve manufacturing survey will be published at 10:30 am ET. Paychex is the only notable company scheduled to post earnings after the closing bell.

Ben Bernake smelled "shenanigans" coming out of Washington and decided not to taper, says Bob Doll, Nuveen Asset Management, discussing the looming government shutdown and its probable impact on the economy.Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to meet with billionaire investor Carl Icahn, presumably to talk about the tech giant's future stock buyback plans. Separately, Interbrand's annual Global Brands report ranked Apple as the most valuable for the first time, displacing perennial number one Coca-Cola.


Disappointing economic data from China also sapped investors' appetite for risk. China's final reading of manufacturing activity from HSBC came in at 50.2 in September, lower from a preliminary reading of 51.2 earlier this month. Still, the data was higher from August's 50.1 reading. The Chinese Shanghai Composite outperformed as the region's sole gainer, while Japan's Nikkei index closed down 2 percent.


"This is as good as it gets for the time being. The data reflects the stimulus over the summer but don't expect too sharp an acceleration from here," said Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economic research at HSBC.

The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 was down nearly 1 percent. The Italian blue-chip FTSE MIB index dropped approximately 1.5 percent, suffering its worst session in nearly six weeks.

The Republicans are orchestrating a collapse of society. Tuesday will be catastrophic unless we stop the Republicans in their tracks. In the fights we're in, the cards are stacked against us -- the special-interest groups have unbelievable budgets. Think about the Koch brothers, who are on a personal mission to tear down Obamacare. Or the gun lobby, which fought tooth and nail against common-sense gun violence prevention measures We must defeat the Republicans ,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7cRsfW0Jv8&list=PLs2QceHTXzgzzxtFeycNmTbPYWSzOnStV The Coke brothers have crossed a line. Their latest anti-Obamacare ads aren't subtle -- they've got images of a creepy Uncle Sam in a doctor's office, apparently taking advantage of unsuspecting patients. It's a despicable way to do something pretty despicable: trying to scare Americans out of getting health insurance. They talk about Obamacare like it's the plot from a horror movie -- pretty bold coming from a shadowy organization that won't disclose where it gets its money. The fact is, Obamacare is helping millions of Americans get the security that comes with knowing they and their families can afford health insurance. Let's be sure people don't believe this crap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7cRsfW0Jv8&list=PLs2Q

We are headed in a downward death spiral lead by the Rethuglican party. Obamacare exchanges will open tomorrow and maybe the idiots will back down. Where is the Rethuglican health plan?
