Fed Cuts Rates Between Meetings
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve announced on Wednesday that it was cutting key short-term U.S. interest rates a half percentage point to try to spur a rapidly flagging economy and said the risks to the economy are still to the downside.

The Fed action brings the federal funds rate overnight bank lending rate down to 4.5 percent. The more symbolic discount rate on Fed loans to banks will fall to 4.0 percent.
