(AP) Mining and materials companies' shares took a pounding. Worries over the debt struggles of euro-zone countries Greece, Portugal and Spain fueled a flight from stocks to the safe-haven dollar, which hurt commodity prices denominated in the greenback. Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX) fell 5.5 percent to $33.93 and U.S. Steel (NYSE:X) lost 5.1 percent to $44.44.

"There is significant global concern because of the tidal wave of money shipped around the world," said Fred Dickson, chief market strategist of D.A. Davidson & Co in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
