due to US House of Representatives refused to pass a strategy to bail out the US
fiscal sector.

bail out the US monetary sector.

previous record of 684.81 points, put in the instant aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist
attacks, for a drop of 6.98 percent to 10,365.45, but the percentage decrease was
far less than the 20 percent declines observe on Black Monday in October 1987 or at
the starting of the Great Depression in 1929.

percent to 10,945.7, the Dax dropped 4.23 percent to 5,807.08 and the CAC-40 was
5.04 percent lower to 3,953.48.

Equities markets in the Asia-Pacific region were at down on Monday due to worries
that even if the bailout did approve, it would not be enough to rescue the global
economy.

declined 1.74 percent to 1,127.87 and the Mothers market of small and mid-caps was

Europe.
