Stocks hit lowest levels in over a year

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks tanked Friday, falling to the worst levels in nearly 18 months after a weak February employment report and more financial sector woes exacerbated recession fears.

Oil spiked to a record $106 a barrel before retreating a bit, the dollar continued its plunge and traders continued to pour money into government bonds.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) lost 1.2%, falling to its lowest point since Oct. 11, 2006.

The broader Standard & Poor's 500 (SPX) index fell 0.8%, closing at its lowest level since August 23, 2006. The Nasdaq composite (COMP) lost almost 0.4% and ended at its lowest point since Sept. 11, 2006.
