(AFP) Major European and Asian stock markets slumped and commodity prices
hit new lows Monday as a Chinese-led rout spread globally, fed by fears
of a damaging slodown in the world's second-largest economy.
Chinese stocks have tumbled since peaking in mid-June and authorities
have launched broad interventions to try to restrain the drops, but
Beijing's latest market intervention has failed to restore confidence.
