``Broader financial market conditions have continued to deteriorate and credit has tightened further for some businesses and households,'' the Fed said in a statement in Washington. The FOMC took the action ``in view of a weakening of the economic outlook and increasing downside risks to growth.''
Policy makers set aside concerns about inflation to lower borrowing costs for the fourth time since September after retail sales fell, the unemployment rate climbed and global stocks slumped. Chairman Ben S. Bernanke shifted the Fed's stance to a more aggressive approach in remarks this month citing a need for ``decisive and timely'' action.
The dollar slid and Treasury securities rallied after the announcement. Stocks retreated as some investors questioned whether the Fed would be able to avert a recession, and then recouped more than half the losses. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 1.1 percent to 1,310.50 in New York, the fifth straight drop, extending its decline to 11 percent this year.
