NEW YORK, June 8 (Reuters) - Major stock markets fell on Wednesday and the U.S. dollar hit a one-month low against the yen as investors grew increasingly worried about the implications of a bleak outlook for the global economy.
Crude oil prices rose, reversing earlier losses after OPEC talks broke down without reaching an agreement to increase output as Saudi Arabia failed to convince members to lift production.
Bernanke on Tuesday acknowledged that the U.S. economy had slowed but offered no hint that the central bank is considering further stimulus to support growth. His comments, combined with recent weak U.S. labor and manufacturing data, stoked fears that a slowdown in the world's largest economy could dent global growth.
"The question marks regarding the growth dynamics for the global economy are becoming bigger and this is weighing on the markets," said Tammo Greetfeld, equity strategist at UniCredit.
World stocks as measured by the MSCI world equity index slipped 0.7 percent. The Thomson Reuters global stock index also lost 0.7 percent. Emerging market stocks fell 0.8 percent
