Federal Reserve Cuts Discount Rate Again to Five Percent
The Federal Reserve Board lowered the discount rate to 5 percent marking the second cut this month as short term rates trend downward. The move follows a prior reduction from 6 to 5 percent on November 11 and stems from a broader effort to ease money policy while the Nixon administration seeks economic expansion. The Fed also raised reserve requirements on Eurodollar borrowings from 10 to 20 percent and issued rules to curb repayments to foreign branches, stating the steps are modest and part of a wider review of tools.
