US Federal Reserve Cuts Interest Rate to Zero As Part of Wide-Ranging Emergency Economic Aid

 

The Federal Reserve's benchmark US interest rate was slashed on Sunday to a range of 0 to 0.25 percent, down from a range of 1 to 1.25 percent. The move - that has been much-anticipated by US President Donald Trump - is a bid to tackle the ongoing economic fallout caused by the spread of the Chinese-spawned coronavirus.

 

The central bank also announced that it would re-start its “quantitative easing" - a step that the American economy took earlier during 2008's Great Recession in a bid to get money flowing in markets.

 

"Consistent with its statutory mandate, the [Federal Open Market] Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. The effects of the coronavirus will weigh on economic activity in the near term and pose risks to the economic outlook. In light of these developments, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate to 0 to 1/4 percent", The US Federal Reserve System said in a statement on Sunday, adding that it was "encouraging banks to use their capital and liquidity buffers as they lend to households and businesses who are affected by the coronavirus".

Video footage of aftermath from US airstrikes on Karbala airport

 

BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:15 P.M.) – Footage from Friday shows the aftermath of a US airstrike on the unfinished International Airport in Karbala.

 

Debris and rubble could be seen scattered on the ground of the area targeted by the strike, which reportedly left six dead, including three Iraqi soldiers, two police officers and a civilian.

 

According to the US military, the airstrike hit five weapon storage facilities allegedly operated by the Iranian-backed Kataib Hezbollah, in response to a rocket attack that killed two US and one British soldiers at Camp Taji, north of Baghdad, earlier on Wednesday.
