Secondary Treasury Market
On-the-run: Trading in the most recent treasury market auction (most current issue)
Off-the-run: Once a new auction takes place, older issues of the same maturity arereferred to as off-the-run
Liquidity in off-the-run markets is far lower than new issues. A 6-month off-the-run T-bill with three months remaining is competing with an
newly issued 3-month T-bill that is on-the-run. Investors have substitutes intreasury securities that allows for more efficient pricing of new securities.
When-issued market: Treasury securities are traded prior to the time that they are issued.
This market extends from the day that the treasury auction is announced until theauction day.
This, too, increases pricing efficiency since dealers have an indication of what thestop yield will be before the auction takes place.
When-issued turn into an on-the-run secondary market once the auction iscompleted.

Negotiable Certificates of Deposits (CDs)
A bank issued time deposit: Not a demand deposit1. Fixed interest rate and maturity2. Terms are negotiable (e.g. 6 month at 4.1% or 1 year at 5.2%)3. Common maturities are less than 12 months4. These funds are more certain to banks that demand deposits that can leave at
any time.
Terms and Trading:1. Most CDs are sold directly to investors who hold to maturity2. Investors receive both principal and interest3. Rates are quoted using a 360 day year4. A network of about 15 brokers/dealers make a secondary market
Risk:1. Small CDs are similar to demand deposits wrt insurance2. Large CDs (called Jumbo CDs) are not federally insured through FDIC3. Large banks, with perceived lower risk due to too-big-to-fail (TBTF) doctrine, often
have lower rates than smaller banks

Bankers AcceptanceBanks act as intermediaries between trading partners:
1. Banks guarantee payments to secure orders of goods from manufacturers2. Are a type of letter of credit that guarantees a payment by the bank on a specific
date3. Particularly useful between foreign trading partners where there is a high level of
asymmetric informationBanks resolve this AI
Example:1. Lubbock Acme Enterprises orders 50,000 Red Raider flags from a Peruvian textile
manufacturer2. The Peruvian manufacturer pulls out a globe to figure out where Lubbock isthey
have no idea who the buyer is.3. Since the Peruvian manufacturer has to retool the factor to make the flags, they
want some guarantee that Lubbock Acme is actually going to pay
4. Lubbock Acme doesnt want to pay until they know that they are going to get thegoods delivered as promised.
5. Bank of America steps in as intermediary with a contract that provides a credibledelivery of payment once the goods are delivered.
6. Bank of America agrees to pay the amount of the BA if the Lubbock Acme fails topay

Bankers Acceptance
Locality of BAs: San Francisco, New York and Chicago originate most BAs Only the largest banks engage in this market
Trading:1. Trading of BAs take place on secondary markets until such time that the payment is
delivered2. Maturity is typically 30 to 270 days
3. Denominations are bundled into $100,000 and $500,000 levels for trading4. If the manufacturer has an immediate need for cash, they can sell the BA prior to
delivery of the goods.
Risk: Default risk is low since both the bank and importer must default on payment, andresulting interest rates are low

EurodollarsEurodollar: U.S. dollars held as deposits in foreign banks
Corporations often find it more convenient to hold deposits at foreign banks tofacilitate payments in their foreign operations
Can be held in U.S. bank branches or foreign banks Dollar denominated deposits are referred to as Eurodollars
Risk:
They are not subject to reserve requirements Nor are they eligible for FDIC depositor insurance (U.S. government is not interestedin protecting foreign depositors)
The resulting rates paid on Euro dollars are higher (higher risk)
Trading: Over night trading as in the Federal Funds market Eurodollars are traded in London, and the rates offered are referred to as LIBOR
(London Interbank Offered Rate) Rates are tied closely to the Fed Funds rate
Should the LIBOR rate drop relative to the Fed Funds rate, U.S. banks canbalance their reserves in the Eurodollar market (arbitrage)
