New York - US stocks staged the biggest rally since November after the US government unveiled the details of a long-awaited plan to take toxic mortgage assets off the balance sheets of US banks.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner put forward a 1-trillion- dollar public-private partnership that the administration hopes will go a long way to stabilize the crumbling US financial system.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted its fifth-largest points gain in history, and US financial firms gained 18 per cent on the announcement.
