MARKET SNAPSHOTS

by the market's sudden fall through a key technical level
brought on by more worries about Europe's debt troubles.

percent as investors booked profits a day after after a surge to
five-month highs tested key technical levels.
*World stocks and oil prices slumped on Thursday on heightening
debt contagion fears after Spain's borrowing costs jumped to
almost 7 percent at a debt auction - a level seen as
unsustainable by many investors.
*Seoul shares finished 1.1 percent higher on Thursday after
volatile trade, lifted by rises in technology issues and
