The latest rate cut, the 10th this year, was taken against a backdrop of Increasingly gloomy statistics indicating that the nation's longest eco; nomic expansion more than a decade of uninterrupted growth has ended. The government reportefl last week the gross domestic product declined at an annual rate of 0.4 percent In the July- September quarter.

Many analysts believe the pace of tlif downturn will accelerate to a drop of 2 percent or more In the current quarter A recession Is traditionally defined as two consecutive quarters of falling GDR Job cuts in October alone td- taled 415,000, the biggest on6- month total In 21 years, The concern Is that the hundreds of thousands of job layi offs that have occurred the Sept. 11 attacks will trigger a sharp reduction in consumer spending as more people fearful of losing their own jobs, deepening and prolonging the recession. The Fed's action, which pushed the funds rate down Its lowest point since Septeitj- ber 1961, was quickly matched by commercial banks that reduced their prime lending rate by a half-point. The benchmark for millions of consumer business loans was cut to 5 percent. Its lowest level since Juriie 1972.

"Heightened uncertainty and concerns about a deterioration in business conditions both here and abroad are damping economic activity" the Fed sai(J in a four-paragraph The Fed repeated the phrase it employs when it wants to hold out the possibility of fuif: ther rate cuts, saying that the near future "the risks are weighted mainly toward conditions that may generate economic weakness." Many economists said the Fed could very well cut rates by another half-point at its last meeting of the year on Dec. That would push the rate down to 1.5 percent, a level last seen in July 1961, when John P. Kennedy was president. Some analysts are worried plunging consumer dence and the fears by the terrorist attacks and anthrax shipments In the mai) win overwhelm the Fed's cuts. "The Fed is trying to arrest the slide In the economy and ip consumer confidence, but it may be running out of ammunition," said Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at Wells Fargo In Minneapolis.
