Investors in Treasury bills
Depository institutions because T-bills can be easily liquidated
Other financial institutions in case cash outflows exceed cash inflows
Individuals with substantial savings for liquidity purposes
Corporations to have easy access to funding for unanticipated(dung truoc, huong truoc) expenses

Pricing Treasury bills
The price is dependent on the investor’s required rate of return:
Treasury bills do not pay interest
To price a T-bill with a maturity less than one year, the annualized return can be reduced by the fraction of the year in which funds would be invested

Treasury bill auction
Investors submit bids on T-bill applications for the maturity of their choice
Applications can be obtained from a Federal Reserve district
or branch bank
Financial institutions can submit their bids using the Treasury
Automated Auction Processing System (TAAPS-Link)
Institutions must set up an account with the Treasury
Payments to the Treasury are withdrawn electronically from the account
Payments received from the Treasury are deposited into the account
Trang 9Money Market Securities (cont’d)
Treasury bill auction (cont’d)
Weekly auctions include 13-week and 26-week T-bills
4-week T-bills are offered when the Treasury anticipates a short-term cash deficiency
Cash management bills are also occasionally offered
Investors can submit competitive or noncompetitive bids
The bids of noncompetitive bidders are accepted
The highest competitive bids are accepted
Any bids below the cutoff are not accepted
Since 1998, the lowest competitive bid is the price applied to all competitive and noncompetitive bids

T-bills are sold at a discount from par value
The yield is influenced by the difference between the selling price and the purchase price
If a newly-issued T-bill is purchased and held until maturity, the yield is based on the difference between par value and the purchase price

Commercial paper:
Is a short-term debt instrument issued by well-known,
creditworthy firms
Is typically unsecured
Is issued to provide liquidity to finance a firm’s investment in
inventory and accounts receivable
Is an alternative to short-term bank loans
Has a minimum denomination of $100,000
Has a typical maturity between 20 and 270 days
Is issued by financial institutions such as finance companies and bank holding companies
Has no active secondary market
Is typically not purchased directly by individual investors
Trang 15Money Market Securities (cont’d)
Trang 16Money Market Securities (cont’d)
Volume of commercial paper:
Has increased substantially over time
Is commonly reduced during recessionary periods
Placement
Some firms place commercial paper directly with investors
Most firms rely on commercial paper dealers to sell it
Some firms (such as finance companies) create in-house departments to place commercial paper
Trang 17Money Market Securities (cont’d)
Backing commercial paper
Issuers typically maintain a backup line of credit
Allows the company the right to borrow a specified maximum amount of funds over a specified period of time
Involves a fee in the form of a direct percentage or in the form
of required compensating balances
Estimating the yield
The yield on commercial paper is slightly higher than on a bill
T- The nominal return is the difference between the price paid and the par value

The commercial paper yield curve:
Illustrates the yield offered on commercial paper at various maturities
Is typically established for a maturity range from 0 to 90 days
Is important because it may influence the maturity that is used by firms that issue CP
Is similar to the short-term range of the Treasury yield curve
Is affected by short-term interest rate expectations
Is similar to the yield curve on other money market instruments

Negotiable certificates of deposit (NCDs) (cont’d)
NCDs provide a return in the form of interest and the difference between the price at which the NCD was redeemed or sold and the purchase price
If investors purchase a NCD and hold it until maturity, their annualized yield is the interest rate

Repurchase agreements
One party sells securities to another with an agreement to
repurchase them at a specified date and price
Essentially a loan backed by securities
A reverse repo refers to the purchase of securities by one party
from another with an agreement to sell them
Bank, S&Ls, and money market funds often participate in repos
Transactions amounts are usually for $10 million or more
Common maturities are from 1 day to 15 days and for one,
three, and six months
There is no secondary market for repos
Trang 24Money Market Securities (cont’d)
Some companies use in-house departments
Estimating the yield
The repo yield is determined by the difference between the initial selling price and the repurchase price, annualized with
a 360-day year
Trang 25Estimating the Repo Yield
An investor initially purchased securities at a price
of $9,913,314, with an agreement to sell them

The federal funds market allows depository
institutions to lend or borrow short-term funds from
each other at the federal funds rate
The rate is influenced by the supply and demand for funds in the federal funds market
The Fed adjusts the amount of funds in depository institutions to influence the rate
All firms monitor the fed funds rate because the Fed manipulates it to affect economic conditions
The fed funds rate is typically slightly higher than the T-bill rate
Trang 27Money Market Securities (cont’d)
Two depository institutions communicate directly
through a communications network or through a
federal funds broker
The lending institution instructs its Fed district bank to debit its reserve account and to credit the borrowing institution’s reserve account by the amount of the loan
Commercial banks are the most active participants in the federal funds market
Most loan transactions are or $5 million or more and usually have one- to seven-day maturities
Trang 28Money Market Securities (cont’d)
Banker’s acceptances:
Indicate that a bank accepts responsibility for a future payments
Are commonly used for international trade transactions
An unknown importer’s bank may serve as the guarantor
Exporters frequently sell an acceptance before the payment date
Have a return equal to the difference between the discounted price paid and the amount to be received in the future
Have an active secondary market facilitated by dealers
Trang 29Money Market Securities (cont’d)
Steps involved in banker’s acceptances
First, the U.S importer places a purchase order for goods
The importer asks its bank to issue a letter of credit (L/C)
on its behalf
Represents a commitment by that bank to back the payment owed to the foreign exporter
The L/C is presented to the exporter’s bank
The exporter sends the goods to the importer and the shipping documents to its bank
The shipping documents are passed along to the importer’s bank

Trang 31Institutional Use of Money Markets
Financial institutions purchase money market securities
to earn a return and maintain adequate liquidity
Institutions issue money market securities when
experiencing a temporary shortage of cash
Money market securities enhance liquidity:
Newly-issued securities generate cash
Institutions that previously purchased securities will generate cash upon liquidation
Most institutions hold either securities that have very active
secondary markets or securities with short-term maturities

Indicators of future money market security prices
Economic growth is monitored since it signals changes in
short-term interest rates and the required return from
investing in money market securities
Trang 37Risk of Money Market Securities
Because of the short maturity, money market
securities are generally not subject to interest rate
risk, but they are subject to default risk
Investors commonly invest in securities that offer a slightly
higher yield than T-bills and are very unlikely to default
Although investors can assess economic and firm-specific
conditions to determine credit risk, information about the
issuer’s financial condition is limited
Measuring risk
Money market participants can use sensitivity analysis to
determine how the value of money market securities may
change in response to a change in interest rates

Yields
each other
Market forces will correct disparities in yield and
the yields among securities tend to be similar
investors tend to shift from risky money
market securities to Treasuries
Flight to quality
Creates a greater differential between yields
Trang 39Globalization of Money Markets
Interest rate differentials occur because geographic
markets are somewhat segmented
Interest rates have become more highly correlated:
Conversion to the euro
The flow of funds between countries has increased because
of:
Tax differences
Speculation on exchange rate movements
A reduction in government barriers
Eurodollar deposits, Euronotes, and Euro-commercial paper
are widely traded in international money markets
Trang 40Globalization of Money Markets
(cont’d)
Eurodollar deposits and Euronotes
Eurodollar certificates of deposit are U.S dollar deposits
in non-U.S banks
Have increased because of increasing international trade and historical U.S interest rate ceilings
In the Eurodollar market, banks channel deposited funds to
other firms that need to borrow them in the form of
Eurodollar loans
Typical transactions are $1 million or more
Eurodollar CDs are not subject to reserve requirements
Interest rates are attractive for both depositors and borrowers
Rates offered on Eurodollar deposits are slightly higher than NCD rates
Trang 41Globalization of Money Markets
(cont’d)
Eurodollar deposits and Euronotes (cont’d)
Investors in fixed-rate Eurodollar CDs are adversely affected
by rising market rates
Issuers of fixed-rate Eurodollar CDs are adversely affected
by declining rates
Eurodollar-floating-rate CDs (FRCDs) periodically adjust to
LIBOR
The Eurocurrency market is made up of Eurobanks that
accept large deposits and provide large loans in foreign
currencies
Loans in the Eurocredit market have longer maturities than
loans in the Eurocurrency market
Short-term Euronotes are issued in bearer form with
maturities of one, three, and six months

Trang 44Computing the Effective Yield
A U.S investor buys euros for $1.15 and invests in
a one-year European security with a yield of 8
percent After one year, the investor converts
the proceeds from the investment back to
dollars at the spot rate of $1.16 per euro What
is the effective yield earned by the investor
