LONDON: US Treasury note futures plunged on Wednesday after US lawmakers approved a deal preventing a round of automatic fiscal tightening that could have pushed the world's top economy into recession.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives approved a bill that will raise taxes on top US earners, avoiding a 'fiscal cliff' of $600 billion in broad-based tax hikes and spending cuts.
T-note futures were last 25/32 lower at 132 in European trade.
