Federal Reserve cuts discount rate amid tax move
The Federal Reserve Board approved a reduction of the discount rate to 4 percent from 5 1/2 percent for member banks, signaling a money market loosening after Congress approved a 10 percent tax increase. The move, described as technical, follows Minneapolis action and is expected to spread to other banks, with no immediate benefit to average citizens. The Fed noted improved money market conditions and cited potential inflation relief from fiscal actions. The 12 regional Fed banks include Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Dallas, San Francisco, and Minneapolis.
