US Financial

There was an indication of solace in the markets

today. After turning down the 1st proposal, the

House of Representatives voted 263 in opposition to

171 to endorse a plan to give the Treasury $300

billion in instant funds to take deadly debt from

banks' and lenders' balance sheets to make

confidence stable and defrost the iced-up credit

markets. Right after following the vote, stocks pulled

back from their pre-event highs and dollar instability

was changed a bit. A quiet response from the carry

trade, Treasuries and credit default swap indexes

indicates there might be cynicism on this bills

efficiency.
