Emerging-market stocks heading to 4-month low
Emerging-market stocks fell on Wednesday declining to the weakest level in four months mainly due to a drop of energy companies as falling commodity prices pushed down equities from Russian and Brazil. The MSCI Emerging Market Index slipped 0.9% to 1,000.02 as of 11:55 a.m. New York time, while the index has dropped 4.9% this year.
