NEW YORK (Reuters) –

Wall Street tumbled again on Monday after Britain’s shock vote to leave the European Union, sending major U.S. stock indexes to their worst two-day swoon in about 10 months.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 260.3 points, or 1.5 percent, to 17,140.45, the S&P 500 lost 36.85 points, or 1.81 percent, to 2,000.56 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 113.54 points, or 2.41 percent, to 4,594.44.
