Markets Shaky, Cautious Over House Vote on Rescue Plan
U.S. shares have fallen in early trading with investors cautious over whether the House of Representatives will back the revised bank rescue plan.
The House is due to discuss the plan later, with a vote expected on Friday. The bill successfully passed through the US Senate on Wednesday.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones index was down nearly 300 points in early morning trading. In Europe, shares rose as France said it would host a summit on the global financial crisis on Saturday.
