Energy Companies Shares Drop On Oil Prices Slide
U.S. stocks fell as a plunge in oil prices dragged energy shares lower
U.S. stocks fell as a plunge in oil prices dragged energy shares such as Exxon Mobil Corp. lower, thwarting the benchmark's attempt to build on a three-year high, Bloomberg reports.
Exxon, whose chemicals business reported record third- quarter profit because of surging oil prices, lost 99 cents to $50.16. ChevronTexaco Corp., the No. 2 U.S. oil company, declined $1.03 to $52.45. ConocoPhillips, the largest U.S. refiner, sank $3.48 to $85.80. The three stocks were among the four biggest drags on the S&P 500.
