Traders were also worrying Monday that last week's strong jobs report opened the way for the first rate hike from the Federal Reserve in nearly a decade. Priceline plunged 10% after its forecast for the fourth quarter came in weaker than analysts were expecting. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 180 points, or 1%, to 17,730. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 20 points, or 1%, to 2,078. The Nasdaq composite fell 51 points, or 1%, to 5,095. Bond prices fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.35%.
