Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in an emergency move for the first time since 2001 after tumbling global stock markets and a jump in the U.S. unemployment threatened to push the economy into recession.

The central bank lowered the benchmark overnight lending rate to 3.5 percent from 4.25 percent, the Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement in Washington. Policy makers weren't scheduled to gather on rates until Jan. 29-30.

Dow futures paring loss, SPI200 pointing up 3%.

I told you guys this could be something that would make or break today!

Yeah.. tomorrow going to be good

Have a feeling, we might just have the rally as in August.

That explains why red just turned green. Thanks.
 
Re: EMERGENCY RATE CUT

Thats not a great sign....

It just means that there really is a recession coming.

It might be the saving grace for those who wished to get out on Monday...
but we are moving down down down..

It was a boost in the Dow future forecast... but as Im watching the news live right now... its already dipping back to its initial cloudy forecast.

If this rate cut doesnt ease the markets tonight... we are headed for some mess,

"Financial market conditions have deteriorated since October, leading to a tightening of credit conditions in industrial countries. Given this, and a deeper, more prolonged decline in the U.S. residential housing sector, the 2008 outlook for the U.S. economy"
 
Re: EMERGENCY RATE CUT


Agree with this, I am hoping it will be my saving grace over the next wk or so, cut some losses and get back to mainly cash like I was just months ago!

Then wait for some GREAT prices to come up, instead of just the OK ones I picked up only a few weeks ago!

Yes they have just slashed the hull all the way and obviously forgot that they sold the life boats back in 2001.
