In a move intended to help maintain federal funds within their target range, the New York Federal Reserve has accepted $35 billion of the $52.2 billion in bids from primary dealers at a repurchase agreement operation.

The U.S. overnight repo rate was slightly higher at 1.93%-1.95% after the NY Fed operation.
