The Dow Jones industrial average was down 39 points, or 0.3 percent, to 14,472 as of 11 a.m. EDT. The Dow fell as much as 110 points in the early going, before recouping some of its loss.

The index fell 1.6 percent Feb. 25, its biggest wobble this year, after elections in ...

The number of U.S. homes repossessed by lenders last month fell 11 percent from January and declined 29 percent from February last year, tumbling to the lowest level since September 2007, foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac Inc. said Thursday. Some states continued to see sharp increases in homes lost to foreclosure last month, including Washington, Wisconsin and Iowa. But home repossessions declined both on an annual and monthly basis in a majority of states, including past foreclosure hotbeds such as California, Georgia and Arizona. All told, 45,038 U.S. homes completed the foreclosure process in February. That’s less than half of the 102,000 homes lost to foreclosure in March 2010, when home repossessions peaked, according to the firm’s records, which go ...
