 U.S. and European stocks fell and oil slid on Monday as investors locked in
profits after a strong run-up in riskier assets and major U.S. banks announced
large stock offerings to repay government bailouts.
 U.S. Treasuries and euro zone government debt rose as the outlook for
stocks weakened, while the Federal Reserve bought $3.51 billion of longer-dated
bonds and the Bank of England bought 3.4 billion pounds ($5.16 billion) of
long-dated gilts.
 Oil retreated to under $58 a barrel, pressured by weaker equity markets, a
firmer dollar and profit-taking, all helping drive crude's price from six-month
highs reached last Friday.
