The U.S. Federal Reserve cut by 50 basis points, as did the European Central Bank (ECB), the Royal Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Swiss National Bank and Sweden's Riksbank.

China's central bank cut their benchmark rate by 27 basis points (0.27 percentage point.)

Japanese central bankers applauded the actions taken by their foreign counterparts, but opted to keep their already low benchmark rate at 0.5%.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority cut it's benchmark rate by 100 basis points.
