The Federal Reserve may not wait until its next scheduled meeting, in September , to cut interest rates.

Analysts are penciling in a half-a-percentage-point rate cut for the Fed 's September meeting.

But few if any believe the Fed will move sooner.

On each of the eight times over 30 years that the Fed has cut rates, upheaval in markets went well beyond equities.

While US stock indexes dropped more than 30% , of even greater concern was a 700 -point widening of credit spreads and disruptions to the function of the US Treasury market. (Reporting by Ann Saphir and Dan Burns ; Editing by Andrea Ricci ).
