U.S. stock-indexes staged a dramatic recovery off their lows on Monday, helped by a turnaround in Apple's shares, but the three main indexes remained in or within spitting distance of correction territory amid fears China's growth is slowing. The Dow Jones industrial average - which fell into the correction zone on Friday - briefly slumped more than 1,000 points, its biggest point-drop ever. At midday, the Dow was down about 243 points or 1.48 percent as bargain hunters stepped in. The Dow has never lost more than 800 points in a day.

Almost all of Dow stocks in negative area (27 of 30). Top looser - The Coca-Cola Company (KO, -2.45%). Top gainer - Intel Corporation (INTC, +2.90).

All S&P index sectors in negative area. Top looser - Financial (-1.7%).
