The US central bank, the Federal Reserve, has cut interest rates for the first time since 2008.

The Fed announced a 0.25 percentage point cut, taking the federal funds target range to 2-2.25%.

Supporters say it will spur a US economy showing signs of needing help.

Critics argue that a rate cut will not help and that the Fed is pandering to President Donald Trump, who had demanded a big cut.
