FED EXPECTED TO SET CUSTOMER REPURCHASES The Federal Reserve is expected to intervene in the government securities market to add reserves via two to 2.5 billion dlrs of customer repurchase agreements, economists said. Economists said the Fed will inject temporary reserves indirectly to offset pressure on the Federal funds rate associated with quarterly corporate tax payments to the Treasury department. Fed funds opened at 6-1/4 pct and remained at that level late this morning. Friday funds averaged 6.05 pct.
