Fed cuts rate as banks adjust amid mixed loan outlook
The Fed reduced the overnight lending rate for the first time since 1997 amid bank pass-through uncertainty. Banks like Norwest and First Chicago NBC cut prime rates to 8.25 percent, with some lenders delaying changes to secure a higher risk premium. Long-Term Capital Management fears and weaker global demand influence the muted response, even as long-term mortgage rates edge lower. Economists expect more cuts, while Greenspan maintains a gradualist stance.
