REUTERS: Wall Street's main indexes slid 2per cent on Wednesday, as a record drop in retail sales and dour first-quarter earnings reports lent weight to forecasts for the biggest economic slump since the Great Depression.

At 10:07 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 558.11 points, or 2.33per cent, at 23,391.65, the S&P 500 was down 71.28 points, or 2.50per cent, at 2,774.78.
