It did apparently, so it functions as a tool to control inflation.

 

[mmm....shiney!]

In other words it keeps an excess of funds from being spent into the real economy.

That's all, nothing more. Despite the news stories.

The underlying failure is trying to delineate "real economy" from "financial economy" as the two are inseparably entangled
The most direct example: Interest rates affect almost every decision on borrowing, investing and consumption
Trading prices on commodity markets make or break supply/production decisions: a gas well would be a economically viable resource at $25/MWh is unlikely to be viable when gas price drops to $12.5/MWh

"Real economy" = private sector as opposed to the "public sector" ie government activity.
