The U.S. central bank awarded $95.10 billion of overnight fixed-rate reverse repos to 39 bidders at an interest rate of 0.05 percent, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said on its website.
On Tuesday, the Fed allotted $110.87 billion in overnight reverse repos to 45 bidders including Wall Street dealers, money market mutual funds and mortgage finance agencies, also at an interest rate of 0.05 percent.
Demand for the Fed's RRPs tends to fall when the interest rate on repurchase agreements rises. The repo rate was last quoted at 0.18 percent to 0.22 percent, compared with 0.15 percent late on Tuesday, according to ICAP.
