BREAKING: New Details on Bear Stearns-JPMorgan Deal

CNBC’s Steve Liesman reported late-breaking details on the terms of the Fed’s $29 billion loan to JPMorgan [JPM  Loading...      ()   ] for it to purchase Bear Stearns [BSC  Loading...      ()   ]. According to Liesman’s report, the Fed’s loan is for 10 years at a fluctuating interest rate of 2.5% - a rate the traders all called incredibly cheap, even though it is predicated on the ebb and flow of the discount window rate. Neither the Fed nor JPMorgan is likely to lose money on the deal, Liesman said.
