Federal Reserve Warns Banks Against Foreign Treasury Bills
The Federal Reserve Board advised American banks to avoid locking funds into foreign government treasury bills with long terms. The warning, while not about any nation’s stability, urged caution as Navid funds intended for American merchants, manufacturers, and farmers risked being absorbed. The guidance followed rumors of Morgan interests seeking British bids to cover trade, with officials noting the wary stance of the Federal Reserve System.
