CNBC reports the FOMC did not know about the Societe Generale fraud, where a rouge trader lost the firm $7.3 billion. The Fed said it was a set of factors which led to their decision to cut rates 75bp in an emergency move.
There was speculation today that the sell-off in foreign markets Monday, exacerbated by the fraud, forced the Fed into a panic move Tuesday.
