The Tel Aviv 25 Index fell 4.08%, to 1,625.97 points and the Bank Index sank by 4.8%.

The Tel Aviv 100 Index fell 4.10%, to 1,416.39 points; and the BlueTech Index fell 4.63% to 338.89 points.

Wall Street had its worst week in four years, and it ended particularly badly on Friday, when the Dow Jones industrial average closed down 530 points. This was the ninth-biggest point decline in its history.

Investors were reportedly worried about signs of a slowdown in the Chinese economy. The stock of Apple, which depends heavily on Chinese demand, fell more than 6 percent.
