Investors give $700B rescue plan ho-hum reception

NEW YORK---- Financial markets were subdued in early trading Sunday night after congressional leaders said they are poised to pass a $700 billion rescue plan for banks, brokerages, credit unions, thrifts and insurance companies.

Failure to reach an agreement would have led to severe market disruptions, analysts said. But even if investors did dodge a bullet and credit markets start to stabilize, the realities of a weak economy are likely to weigh on markets, they said.

''When you start thinking of the broader issues, a lot of this is very troubling,'' said Joseph Battipaglia, chief investment officer at Ryan Beck & Co. ''We have in front of us a recession in the general economy, the consumer is dramatically retrenching their habits by cutting spending, and our financial system has sputtered. This isn't necessarily a confidence builder because now everybody knows how precarious the financial system really is.''

In electronic trading Sunday night, futures on the Dow Jones industrial average, Standard & Poor's 500 index and the Nasdaq 100 all rose about 0.1 percent. The dollar recovered moderately against currencies such as the pound, euro and yen. The yield on three-month Treasuries fell slightly to 0.81 percent in Sunday night trading, an indication that flight-to-quality fears remain high.

The plan would allow the government to buy toxic mortgage-backed assets from embattled financial institutions, giving them fresh cash to bolster lending. It would permit the Treasury to immediately spend $250 billion to buy banks' risky assets, provide another $100 billion at the discretion of the president, and a final $350 billion unless Congress has a change of heart and the president decides not to veto the decision.

Even if the bailout is passed -- the House votes on Monday, and the Senate later this week -- the economy remains balanced on the edge of a recession. Unemployment has been rising; it's now at a five-year high of 6.1 percent and is expected to rise as high as 7.5 percent by late 2009.

With worries running high about recessions around the world, global stock market volatility should remain elevated. And while anxiety about the financial institutions could keep boosting demand for Treasury bills, pushing short-term rates down for U.S. government debt, a glut of new issues with longer maturities that must be sold to finance the rescue plan could weaken the dollar over time.NEW YORK---- Financial markets were subdued in early trading Sunday night after... more
