U.S. stocks fell sharply as investors got their first chance to react to the March nonfarm payrolls report, which showed companies adding fewer jobs than expected. The Labor Department last Friday said U.S. employers added 120,000 jobs last month, with the number under 200,000 for the first time since November. |
Crude-oil is also down, hit by Friday’s employment report but ahead of talks over Iran’s nuclear program. May crude fell 1.8%, to $101.41 a barrel in the New York Merc. |
