By William L. Watts, MarketWatch
LONDON (MarketWatch) â Catastrophic events could unfold in the next few hours at Japanâs damaged nuclear site, the European Unionâs top energy official said Wednesday, sending U.S. stocks lower and roiling financial markets.
âThe site is effectively out of control,â Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger told a European Parliament committee, according to news reports. âIn coming hours there could be further catastrophic events which could pose a threat to the lives of people on the island.â
A spokeswoman for the commissioner couldnât immediately comment.
U.S. and European stock markets extended losses following the remarks.
The U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen, which have both been boosted by safe-haven flows amid the nuclear crisis, extended gains.
The dollar index (BOARD-DXY) , which tracks a basket of six major rivals, traded at 76.673, a gain of 0.5% on the day.
