FTSE 100 stages biggest one-day rally in history
US shares extended the biggest two-day rally since 1970 as investors reacted positively to American government plans to buy distressed mortgage assets from banks and bolster money-market funds. There were frantic scenes on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as two to three times the normal volumes of share changed hands, in part due to a quadruple witching as options expired en masse.

The backlash against short-selling stepped up a gear after regulators from the US to Ireland followed the UK's lead by issuing bans on the controversial practise. The US Securities and Exchange Commission followed Britain's Financial Services Authority in outlawing short-selling on financial stocks to try and restore investor confidence.

Financial Crisis: US calls on world to save banking system
HANK Paulson, the US Treasury Secretary, made the rounds of television studios yesterday to keep up political pressure for a $700bn (382bn) bailout of Wall Street, a plan that would effectively turn the federal government into the world's biggest hedge fund and himself into its biggest hedge fund manager.
