Money Supply Drops Sharply in Latest Fed Report
The Federal Reserve reported a $3.1 billion weekly drop in the money supply, with M1 falling to $446.3 billion. Analysts say slower growth may ease rate hikes, though a few more weeks of easing are needed to avoid significant rate reductions. Bond prices rose while three month Treasuries fell, and Kansas unemployment edged up to 4.6 percent in January with Topeka at 5.9 percent and Wichita at 4.5 percent amid factory and railroad layoffs.
