A broad slide for stocks added to Wall Street’s recent losses Wednesday, as investors count down to the end of the worst year for the S&P 500 since 2008.

The S&P 500 fell 1.2 percent, with technology, energy and industrial stocks among the biggest weights on the benchmark index. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite slid 1.4 percent. Both indexes came into this week with three straight weekly losses.
