The unilateral $700 billion U.S. bailout/rescue bill has not stemmed the stock market fall. Maybe it cannot until the money is spent, as opposed to when the bill is signed. But most seem to agree that it is not enough.
Balancing trade flows has not entered the wacko free trader policy mind yet.
The central banks of the U.S., Britain, the EU, Canada, Sweden and Switzerland announced coordinated interest rate cuts early this morning. Some good initial effects were seen in the markets.
The cuts had a positive effect on the FTSE already today.

And also a positive effect on the German DAX.
But it was too late to affect Japan's stock market.
