Prime Rate Surges Up Amid Market Turmoil
Citibank and Crocker National Bank raised their prime lending rates to 16.6 percent and 16.0 percent respectively as rates climb for a fourth straight week. Treasury bills auctioned around 10 billion, the stock market fell with the Dow dropping 19.41 points to 851.69, and bond and gold prices weakened while the dollar strengthened. Government and Fed actions aimed to curb inflation while spurring growth face scrutiny amid record deficits and rising money supply concerns. The Commerce Department reported a 1 percent drop in December construction spending, with inflation-adjusted 1981 spending down 4 percent from 1980. The Agriculture Department noted the weekly food budget for a family of four at 90.70 dollars in December.
