"If forced to choose between recession and potential injury to commercial paper and money market mutual funds industries, we suspect the Fed will err on the side of cutting rates more aggressively," said Abate. There has been much speculation in recent weeks that the Fed would be reluctant to take interest rates below 0.75 percent because yields would then be too low for MMMFs to be able to cover the costs of managing their funds. It could also result in a large shift of money out of MMMFs and, since these funds are large buyers of commercial paper, make it harder for companies to find short-term financing. This is a not inconsiderable danger since MMMFs have expanded markedly in recent years, holding more than $2.2 trillion in assets this year versus less than $1.0 trillion in 1998. At the end of last year, they held roughly 44 percent of the $1.3 trillion worth of outstanding commercial paper. more at link reuters.com
