CNBC - FED CUTS RATE BY A QUARTER POINT
KEY POINTS
The policymaking Federal Open Market Committee drops the target range for its overnight lending rate to 2% to 2.25%, or 25 basis points from the previous level.
The Fed cites “implications of global developments for the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures” in its first rate cut since December 2008.
The Fed also leaves the door open to future cuts, saying it will “act as appropriate to sustain the expansion.”
The central bank also ends its balance sheet reduction two months earlier than planned.
