Stocks tumble amid rising Europe worries

Rising bond yields in Italy and a bank crisis in Spain dragged Wall Street lower on Wednesday, as Europe's financial woes continued to dictate the direction of U.S. stocks.

Angst over Europe's outlook drove investors from risky investments into safe-haven assets. U.S. Treasury benchmark yields fell to a 60-year low, prices for crude were down more than 3 percent and the euro fell below $1.24 to a 23-month low.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed the day down 161 points, having lost as much as 184 points earlier in the session.

The broader S&P 500 is down nearly 6 percent in May, headed for its worst monthly performance since September.

Yields rose sharply at an Italian sale of five- and 10-year debt, and investors worried about Spain's plans to raise new funds as that country's borrowing costs also rose. Adding to worries were Greece's upcoming election, which could determine if the country will stay in the euro zone or leave.

The CBOE volatility index, a gauge of market anxiety, jumped 10 percent.

"You're seeing the deterioration in Spain gain magnitude and that is worrisome because it involves a larger bailout [than Greece's] and far more capital to alleviate banking problems," said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial in Newark, New Jersey.

"Traders and long-term investors believe Europeans are working on solutions. But the ultimate question is will capital markets give them the time before a liquidity issue becomes a solvency issue."

Facebook?s share price sank to a new low, off 2.3 percent at $28.19.

U.S.-traded shares of Research In Motion tumbled after the BlackBerry maker warned it would likely report a quarterly operating loss. Analysts cut their price targets on RIM shares and said the odds of a turnaround at the company are fading fast.

Pep Boys Manny, Moe & Jack lost a fifth of its market value after private equity firm Gores Group walked away from a $791 million deal to buy the auto parts retailer.

U.S. economic data showed contracts to purchase previously owned U.S. homes unexpectedly fell in April to a four-month low, dealing a blow to optimism the housing sector may have hit a bottom.

Valencia edges Dynamo 2-1 in friendly

Associated Press Sports

updated 9:03 a.m. ET June 1, 2012

HOUSTON (AP) - Aritz Aduriz scored twice and Spain's Valencia held on for a 2-1 win over the Houston Dynamo on Thursday night in an international friendly.

Aduriz gave Valencia a 2-1 lead in the 17th minute, taking a pass from Pablo Piatti at the penalty area and shooting inside the near post.

Aduriz put Valencia up just 71 seconds into the match, taking a cross in the left box from Pablo and shooting from 16 yards on the left. The shot bounced off goalkeeper Tyler Deric as he tried for a diving save, hit off the far post and bounced over the line.

Valencia coach Juan Carlos Carcedo said he was excited by the way his team played.

"I think we played a good game and gave a good spectacle," Carcedo said. "The goals and the way that everyone understood each other on the field, that was our goal. We were happy to achieve those goals."

Calen Carr evened the score in the 14th minute, dribbling from the right end line to the half circle and sending a shot inside the upper near post.

"It was a good goal," Carr said. "It wasn't one of my best goals or one of my most important goals. Overall, the match had some good moments."

Houston, currently sixth in MLS's Eastern Conference with a 4-3-4 record and 16 points, had a chance to tie in the 90th minute, but Macoumba Kandji's shot from the left was saved by Vicente Guaita.

Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear said he was pleased with the way his team played.

"I thought it was a good match played against a great team," Kinnear said. "That was a great goal by Calen."

Valencia, which finished third in the 2011-2012 La Liga standings, defeated Portland 1-0 on May 23 in its only other game on its United States tour. Aduriz scored the lone goal in that game as well.

"I'm happy to score the three goals on the trip," Arduriz said. "I'm going to be the main goal scorer now, so this was good for me to prepare for next year."

Sony rumored to be acquiring Gaikai or OnLive ? Video Games ...

The big gaming rumor last week was that Sony is going to announce some kind of deal with one of the two big cloud games streaming services: OnLive or Gaikai during E3. Now that rumor has been tweaked slightly. Sony isn?t just signing a deal, it is in the process of acquiring one of the companies.

Such an acquisition would certainly shake things up in the gaming space. Sony would instantly be capable of providing PS3 and PS Vita owners with access to games not available for either platform. It would also be able to block the service from ever running on Microsoft or Nintendo hardware.

A PS3 or Vita running Diablo III, World of Warcraft, or a number of other games that don?t currently have console versions is certainly a plus point. It would also force Microsoft to react, most likely by purchasing a rival service for its own console.

Being in control of an established cloud gaming service would also surely influence the design of Sony?s next console. Cloud gaming would become an integral part of the platform, potentially cutting down on hardware costs (less local storage?), or at the very least increasing the potential for more games and more cloud-based features.

We also have to consider Sony?s other businesses, specifically TVs, laptops, phones, and tablets. Owning Gaikai or OnLive could see gaming ship as standard with new smart TVs or as a feature of new Blu-ray players. I doubt Sony would release a standalone box for cloud gaming as it would potentially cut into PS3 sales. Laptops, tablets, and phones with access to a gaming service also makes a lot of sense.

For now, this is just a rumor, but one that will be put to rest either way at E3 next week.
