Oops -- trader hits 'instant sell' button
A mystery plunge in the value of French 10-year bond futures on July 23 was triggered by a bank trader at Salomon Brothers in London who accidentally and repeatedly hit the ''Instant Sell'' button, investigators said Thursday. A wave of 145 separate sell orders sent the price diving on electronic screens. ''The disputed trades arose as a result of the prolonged, unintentional and inadvertent operation of the 'Instant Sell' key,'' the investigation concluded. --Reuters
