Energy companies also suffered from the steep drop in the price of crude oil.

West Texas Intermediate crude for May delivery fell $3.79 to $57.26 a barrel in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Brent crude oil for May delivery dropped $3.83 to $60.79 a barrel in trading on ICE Futures Europe.

April natural gas also dropped. It fell 7 cents to $2.51 per 1,000 cubic feet. The fall in oil and gas came as energy prices had been steadily climbing this year but in recent days, production around the world had been restrained.
