Real Estate Financial News
We’ve reached a juncture in the credit markets where it really doesn’t matter how low interest rates go -- banks are refusing to lend and consumers either have no desire to borrow – or they are in such troubled financial straits they can’t meet the qualification criteria for a loan.
So what’s the Fed to do?
Many believe the Fed will announce in their post-meeting statement tomorrow afternoon (2:15 p.m. ET) that the answer to rekindling economy growth is actually quite simple – print money like crazy.
In a nutshell the idea here is that by flooding the economy with money – banks will ultimately find themselves bursting at the seams with capital – and they will essentially have no other option than to start lending.
As the short-term credit market swings back into action, business confidence will rise, employment will improve and the engines of commerce will roar back to life.

Fed Expected to Cut Key Interest Rate Tuesday
The Federal Reserve begins a two-day meeting today where it is expected to cut it's key interest rate, perhaps to an all-time low.
The Fed will likely announce Tuesday that it is cutting its key rate in half to just 0.50 percent.
However, a few economists predict the Fed will go even further and cut the rate to one-quarter of a percentage point.
If that happens, it will be the lowest rate on record going back to 1954, when records tracking the monthly rates were first kept.
However deeply the Fed decides to cut rates, the prime rate for many consumer and small-business loans would drop by a corresponding amount. The prime lending rate, currently at 4 percent, is used to determine rates on home equity loans, certain credit cards, and certain consumer loans, the Associated Press reports.
"It is not so much going to give the economy a big push forward. It's more a case of trying to help the economy from being pushed further backward by all these negative events," said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group.
