SPX: SEE CHART GET CHAIN
Equity indexes closed lower yesterday after a late-session selloff as rioting in Spain renewed concern over that country's bailout plans.

The S&P 500 fell 15.30 points, or 1.05 percent, to finish the day at 1441.59. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 39.45 points, or 1.39 percent, to 2804.53.

The Russell 2000 saw the steepest decline. The small-cap index lost 12.64 points, or 1.48 percent, to close at 839.12.
