    Default Fed delivers second rate cut to head off global risks

    The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday it would cut interest rates for the second consecutive time this year
    to protect a record stretch of U.S. prosperity from looming foreign risks.

    In a statement following a two-day meeting in Washington, the central bank’s rate-setting Federal Open Markets
    Committee (FOMC) said it would cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points to a 1.75 to 2 percent baseline
    range. The decision marks the second time since July— and the 2008 recession — that the Fed has moved to ease
    borrowing costs.
