Fed Slashes Rates by Three-Quarter Points-

Fed Slashes Rates by Three-Quarter Points
With recession fears growing, the Federal Reserve slashed the federal funds rate by three-quarters of a point. Most investors expected a full-point reduction. Today’s cut comes on the heels of the Bear Stearns bailout and U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson saying the U.S. economy is in "sharp decline."

The Federal Reserve on Tuesday slashed a key interest rate by three-fourths of a percentage point, moving aggressively to contain a credit crisis threatening to push the country into a severe recession.
The latest action brought the federal funds rate -- the interest that banks charge each other -- down to 2.25 percent, the lowest point since late 2004. It marked the second back-to-back cuts of three-fourths of a percentage point.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleages have now cut the funds rate six times since last September, with the reductions becoming more aggressive since January as the central bank has faced growing turmoil in global financial markets.

In Jacksonville, Fla., Tuesday, President Bush said the government will take further action -- if necessary -- to help the sagging economy.

Dow Jumps 200 in Opening Minutes Ahead of Expected Rate Cut

Stocks rallied in early trading Tuesday as investors, relieved by better-than-expected results from Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs, also anticipated a massive interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve. The Dow Jones industrial average surged more than 200 points.
A rate cut from the Fed in the afternoon would come just two days after the central bank backed JPMorgan's buy of Bear Stearns Cos., and loosened up its own lending practices
Though the stock market wants more details about the souring mortgage-related bets on investment banks' books, its tone Tuesday was significantly more upbeat than it has been in recent days.
Two rivals of Bear Stearns -- Lehman Brothers Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. -- both posted quarterly profits that were significantly lower than they were a year ago, but higher than analysts had anticipated.

Fed cuts lending rate to financial institutions to 3.25 percent from 3.50 percent

The Federal Reserve is urgently moving to contain a deepening credit crisis and restore confidence in panicked financial markets by becoming a lender of last resort for Wall Street investment houses, which were able to secure short-term emergency loans beginning Monday.
The central bank, in an extraordinarily rare weekend move, took the bold action Sunday in an attempt to calm the markets. It also approved a cut in its emergency lending rate to financial institutions to 3.25 percent from 3.50 percent, effective immediately.
On Wall Street, investors remained somewhat skittish. The Dow Jones industrials, which were down more than 175 points in early trading, moved into positive territory later in the morning. Trading on world markets was down sharplyThe Fed acted just after JPMorgan Chase & Co. agreed to buy rival Bear Stearns Cos. for $236.2 million in a deal that represents a stunning collapse for one of the world's largest and most venerable investment houses. Just on Friday the Fed had raced to provide emergency financing to cash-strapped Bear Stearns through JPMorgan. Days earlier the Fed announced a set of other unconventional steps to thaw out a credit market in danger of freezing shut.
The Fed's actions come as fears have spread that other financial houses could also be on shaky ground.
