Concerns over Bank of America’s capital levels and a drop in oil prices that hurt oil and energy firms sent the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 100 points yesterday.

The Dow ended off 104.22 points, or 1.05 percent, to 9,867.96, marking its first set of back-to-back triple-digit losses since June 16.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 closed down 12.65, or 1.17 percent, to 1,066.95. The Nasdaq composite closed down 12.62, or 0.59 percent, to 2,141.85.

Bank of America led the decliners on concerns US regulators are pushing the banking giant to raise more capital. BofA closed down 82 cents, or 5.1 percent, to $15.40, while other financials, such as JPMorgan Chase, off $1.41, or 3.1 percent, to $43.82, also closed lower.
