In light of the demand evident in the auctions of options on repurchase agreements, the FRBNY will increase the amounts of options available for purchase at the November 3 auctions. On November 3, the FRBNY will offer for sale $20 billion of the December 23 Strip, $50 billion of the December 30 Strip, and $25 billion of the January 6 Strip. As previously indicated, the FRBNY may raise or lower the amounts to be auctioned for each Strip, depending on its sense of demand.
