House of Representatives did not pass the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act bill today. Speaker Nancy Pelosi's untimely attack on Bush, with whom she cooperated in finalizing the draft during the weekend, made many Republicans grow cold feet. So today, when the bill was put vote, it failed to muster the required majority of 218. While 228 voted for it, 205 voted against it. For the market, it was almost a foregone conclusion that it would be passed, based on the bipartisan camaraderie shown in the weekend. And when the market's expectations were belied, it reacted violently. The Nasdaq and S&P 500's fell by the largest points since the 1987 Black Monday. Dow Jones Industrial Average's (DJIA) slide was surpassed only by the fall in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Global markets too reacted by sliding 4-5% be it European or Asian markets.

Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg took a combined $16 bln-stake of 49% in Fortis bank in a similar bail-out move. Iceland's Glitnir and Germany's Hypo also had money infusions from their respective governments. With European currencies falling, US dollar was the obvious beneficiary.

One important clause allows Fed to reward higher reserve holding banks by paying interest on that amount. CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) soared through nearly 12 points to 46.72. Oil fell by $-10.52 (-9.84%) to $96.37. Gold being the safe haven alternative in times like this, went up by $5.90 (0.66%) to $894.40. Government's Treasury bonds too are hot favorites now.

Credit is hard to come by for even banking institutions. So they are charging each other more than 4% for just an "overnite" loan. Where did all this trouble start? For a change, the answer comes from Canadian prime minister Harper (comments after the hyphens are mine) : 1. poor oversight - self-governed doesn't mean not governed. 2. cheap credit - lying about the applicant's income and capacity to return the loan 3. tax sops that give rise to housing bubbles - encouraging people to leverage too much 4. Ignoring early warning signs - yeah, anybody who had the nerve to warn was intimidated by accusations of conspiracy theory or doomsday prophesy Before calling our northern neighbor a traitor or backstabber, remember he is just telling the truth. Yes, truth can be unsavory and uncomfortable. |
