Fed cuts bankers’ ‘discount rate’ quarter-poi
2008-03-17 03:58:00 What a wild Sunday! Bear Stearns was sold in a firesale for what was 4% of the once Wall Street powerhouse’s value as of Thursday. Meanwhile, obviously not working bankers’ hours, the Fed made emergency moves to set up yet another complex lending tool for bankers and also cut a rate it charges bankers — the “discount rate” — by a quarter-point to 3.25%. This all didn’t go well in overseas markets where, for example, the Tokyo stock market tumbled 4% and the U.S. dollar fell to a low vs. the yen not seen since 1995. The drama of the widely watched “Fed Funds” rate, which is more closely tied to consumer rates, will be decided at a regular Fed meeting on Tuesday.

2008-01-22 17:39:00 From MarketWatch: WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Hoping to halt a market meltdown and prevent a recession, the Federal Reserve lowered its overnight lending rate by three quarters of a percentage point to 3.50% on Tuesday in a rare move between formal meetings.

Here's Schiff:Helicopter Ben Earns His Wings Coming at a time when rate increases were needed to combat the sinking dollar and surging gold, oil and other commodity prices, Ben Bernanke?s 50 basis point cuts in the Fed funds and discount rates this week may go down as the most irresponsible move in Fed history.To America?s creditors around the world, whose mountains of dollar reserves will be debased by lower rates in the U.S., this action amounts to the monetary equivalent of ?let them eat cake.?

Fed Cuts Discount Rate
2007-08-17 17:31:00 The Fed this morning took more emphatic steps to stabilize credit, deciding that the risk of a dangerous increase in inflation was less than that of credit tightening leading to a recession. The Federal Reserve today approved a half-percentage point cut in its discount rate on loans to banks, saying that it now feels that ?tighter credit and increased uncertainty have the potential to restrain economic growth going forward.? Stocks immediately surged when markets opened on Wall Street, but shed much of the gains in morning trading. The move is a significant change for the Fed, which just a few weeks ago left its benchmark short-term interest rates unchanged, citing continued concern about inflation, and it signals that policy makers may be prepared to cut interest rates more quickly than earlier thought. I don't envy the Fed their position in this. By lowering the discount rate unexpectedly it's sending a message that the credit crunch which has been sending markets downward t...

Federal Reserve Accepts Signs of Economic Slowdown - Cuts Discount Rate
2007-08-17 16:18:00 In a dramatic, yet hoped for move, the Federal Reserve Board cut its discount rate by half a percent. The discount rate is the cost of money for banks and lending institutions that borrow directly from the Fed. The new rate is 5.75%.The discount rate is different from the overnight lending rate which impacts short term mortgage rates, auto loans, credit cards and savings account rates. The Fed left the overnight lending rate steady in its last meeting August 7th.Since that meeting the Fed has had to inject billions of dollars into the money supply to keep the overnight lending rate at 5.25%. This has been a result of banks across the country hoarding cash and diminishing the money supply. In Europe the same thing has happened with the European Central Bank injecting hundreds of billions of euros into the system.This current activity is a direct result of fears concerning the subprime mortgage market. Buyers of collateralized loans, bundled together for trade on Wall Street as mortga...
