The Fed cut the discount rate, dropping it from 2.75 percent at the beginning of the year to a mere 0.25 percent now. The discount rate is the rate the Fed charges for loans it makes to private banks. By dropping the rate, the Fed is hoping banks will borrow more money, then use that money to make new loans to businesses and consumers. What has spooked the Fed is that GDP is falling at the fastest rate in 50 years. The Fed is hoping that record low interest rates will prompt more spending, preventing a protracted recession.
