Congressional approval of the US bail-out bill failed to boost Wall Street as the Dow hit a four year low dropping 369 points on Monday.

The Dow Jones sank below 10,000 points reflecting investors’ fears of a major recession.

President Bush told the nation it would take time for the bill to bolster the economy but he emphasised that it was a major step forward in combating the financial crisis.

The bill was approved by the House of Representatives on Friday after initial rejection earlier in the week.
