Fed drains reserves via matched-sale
purchases

NEW YORK, Feb 17 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve
temporarily drained reserves from the banking system on
Wednesday via matched-sale purchase agreements, the New
York Fed confirmed.

Analysts had predicted the Fed would add reserves via overnight system repurchase agreements.

Federal funds were trading at 4-3/4 percent, the Fed's target rate, at the time of the operation.

Two out of Two

Me thinks the fed is worried about inflation me thinks they do not want to have to raise the interest rates me thinks.. maybe Laughing God will assist?
