CBSN
Stocks are closing out 2022 with more losses, giving the S&P 500 its worst year since 2008.
The benchmark index fell 10 points, or 0.3% to close at 3,840, leaving it down 19.4% for the year — its worst loss since the financial crisis 14 years ago.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 74 points, or 0.2%, to 33,147. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.1%, ending the year with an annual loss of 33%. The index has fared much worse this year because it is heavily made up of technology stocks that have been leading the broader market slump.

WASHINGTON — An American intelligence assessment of the Ecuadorian presidential election, set for Sunday, concluded that a reelection of the incumbent president would better serve U.S. national security interests over the challenger. The assessment comes as the Trump administration mulls establishing a permanent U.S. military presence in the South American country, once known as the "island of peace," to help battle violent gangs, CBS News has learned.
