GLOBAL MARKETS - Stocks, Commodities Slip as Soft US Data Signals Cooling Economy

GLOBAL MARKET - NEW YORK/LONDON, June 4 (Reuters) - World stocks and commodities slid on Tuesday as investors turned uneasy about evidence that the U.S. economy's "exceptionalism" may be starting to unwind, after data showed surprising weakness in business activity.

The risk that the U.S. economy might be softening more than expected was brought to the fore again after Tuesday's data showed job openings fell more than forecast in April to the lowest in more than three years.
