LIBOR is the "real" interest rate: the rate that balances for risks (inlation, devaluation of the currency, ...).
It becomes obvious that ant attempt of the FED to cut or lower interest rates only profits the Primary Dealers in the US and has no influence, whatsoever, with the rates banks are to pay to borrow money.
Mortgages are LIBOR based. FED rate cuts are smoke.
