  1. Futures-trading clients have embarked on a “flight to quality”, removing funds from financial institutions that have not received US government bail-outs and redirecting them to banks that have been given federal money, according to derivatives broker MF Global.

    Bernard Dan, chief executive, said on Thursday that official data showed a 12 per cent reduction in segregated client funds held with financial houses that were not recipients of Washington’s $700bn troubled asset relief programme (Tarp) between August and November last year.
