US: Fed targets the CP market
Wed, Oct 8 2008, 07:38 GMT
by Peter Possing Andersen, Signe Roed-Frederiksen
Overview: The Federal Reserve has taken a drastic step in order to unfreeze the US commercial paper market. The central bank announced in a statement today that it will create a special purpose vehicle to purchase three-month secured and unsecured commercial papers directly from eligible issuers. This move comes in response to a sharp fall over the past two weeks in the amount of outstanding unsecured CP which has exacerbated the funding difficulties faced particularly by the financial sector, compounding the gridlock in money markets and its negative consequences for overall credit availability (see Flash Comment - Global: Crisis update - what's next? and Research - CP market and money markets gridlocked).

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
