Basis Points Interpration

Dear all, Recently FOMC Changed the fed rate to 5.75 from 6.25. how to interpret the same in context of Basis Points.--Akaswanand 14:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other meanings?

There seem to be many finance meanings of "basis point" or at least "point". Could someone explain? When the Fed changes interest rates, those "points" appear to be full percent. I gather that for individual equities, a one-point change is really a one-dollar-per-share change. Then there's "points" as it refers to the Dow or NASDAQ. I think both this page and Point should make that clear. —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 23:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
