Fed seen adding reserves via overnight system RPs
NEW YORK, March 2 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve on Tuesday is expected to inject reserves to the banking system through a round of overnight system repurchase agreements.

Analysts said the Fed still faces a hefty add need of about $7 billion a day in the current maintenance period that ends next Wednesday.

On Monday, the Fed added more than $8 billion of reserves to the system through overnight repos. Analysts said unknown special factors seemed to have drained reserves more than anticipated, although the factors should be temporary.
