European Indexes Slide as Tech, Industrials Drop

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe WSJ reports European stock indexes slid at the open, with technology and industrial stocks falling. Skip Waverly is live outside the Frankfurt exchange. Skip.

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThanks, Hank! I'm outside the Frankfurt exchange, and per the Wall Street Journal, tech and industrials are leading the slide. Very exciting, and very damp.

3. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentNobody has come out of the building yet. A security guard did tell me this is a loading zone for a sausage truck.

4. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI'm in the way of a sausage.

5. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe Journal's angle is that weakness in European tech and industrials could ripple to U.S. markets if demand worries spread. It's a ripple, Hank.

6. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentLike my left sock.

7. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI also should mention I have not been told why stocks fell. The Journal's piece doesn't say, so I'm not guessing.

8. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe sausage truck is, though.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Skip. That was a lot of sausage for a story with no cause. Stay dry. Or don't.
