Banks Borrow Record Amounts From Fed in Week

The Federal Reserve reported commercial banks averaged a record 111.9 billion dollars daily in the past week, up from 105.8 billion the prior week. Investment firms borrowed 87.4 billion, down from 111.3 billion. The program covers U.S. and London broker dealer subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch. The Fed’s net commercial paper holdings were 144.8 billion, as it launched a first‑of‑its‑kind program to buy short‑term debt. About 1.3 trillion dollars of commercial paper were expected to qualify.
