Fed cuts rates by 50 basis points

NEW YORK -- The Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee today cut its target for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points, to 5 percent.

The Fed said it decided to cut rates today for a third time in 11 weeks because pressure on profit margins have hurt U.S. investment and consumption.

In a related move today, the Fed also cut the discount rate -- the amount it charges banks for loans -- by 50 basis points to 4.5 percent.
