U.S. stock futures fall on report on dropped "bad bank" plan


    HONG KONG (Reuters) - U.S. stock futures fell on Tuesday after a CNBC report that the U.S. Treasury has dropped plans to establish "bad bank" to buy toxic assets from commercial banks as part of a broader rescue package. Funding for the rescue plan is unlikely to exceed the $350 billion currently available under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), CNBC reported, citing a source familiar with the plan.

    S&P 500 futures were down 1.3 percent, Dow futures down 1.05 percent and Nasdaq futures off 1.1 percent.
