ZEALAND $ $0.5600 $0.5591 The U.S. dollar rose for the third consecutive session Friday in typically anemic year-end trading against most major foreign currencies, as professional players prepared to ride the currency higher in 1994. Money watchers noted trading activity slowed to a trickle and price fluctuations were limited to a few year-end position-squaring. Analysts said a handful of traders lifted the dollar against the German mark but pushed the currency lower against the Japanese yen as foreign exchange trading dried up to a snals pace ahead of the New Year's weekend. Money watchers said the dollar, which jumped 4 1/2 pfenning during the week, continued its ride on Thursday's bullish economic reports. Some traders are expecting the dollar to break above its 1993 high of 1.480 German marks as European interest rates begin to decline. The market will watch the Bundesbank for signs about the direction of German interest rates. 12/31/93 BOND YIELDS/INTEREST RATES TREASURIES DISCOUNT CHG YIELD AGENCIES COUPON PRICE T-AUCTION 3 MO T-BILLS 2.99 -.01 3.06 30 YR GNMA 6.00 96:15 RESULTS 6 MO T-BILLS 3.20 0.00 3.30 30 YR GNMA 7.00 101:22 DISCOUNT/YIELD 1 YR T-BILLS 3.45 -.01 3.59 30 YR GNMA 8.00 105:09 3 MO 3.06/ 3.12 NOTES & BONDS PRICE CHG32 YIELD 30 YR GNMA 9.50 108:05 6 MO 3.21/ 3.31 1 YR 4-5/8 12/94 100:29 +0 3.67 3M FFCB 3.210 3/94 100:00 1 YR 3.47/ 3.61 2 YR 4-1/4 12/95 100:01 +0 4.24 6M FFCB 3.370 6/94 100:01 2 YR 4.28 3 YR 4-3/8 11/96 99:19 +0 4.53 1Y FFCB 3.620 12/94 100:00 5 YR 5.19 5 YR 5-1/8 12/98 99:22 -2 5.20 2Y FHLB 4.750 11/94 100:18 7 YR 5-1/2 04/00 100:25 -6 5.35 3Y FHLB 5.375 11/95 101:28 NEXT TREASURY 10 YR 5-3/4 08/03 99:21 -5 5.80 5Y FHLM 5.180 11/98 98:31 AUCTIONS 30 YR 6-1/4 08/23 98:24 -4 6.34 10Y FHLM 6.550 4/03 101:15 3 MO 01/03/94 12:56 0/N 30 DAY 60 90 180 5Y FNMA 5.050 11/98 98:30 6 MO 01/03/94 CD 3.26 3.27 3.31 3.43 7Y FNMA 6.100 2/00 102:29 1 YR 01/06/94 COMM PAPER 3.28 3.25 3.26 3.33 10Y FNMA 6.200 11/03 98:26 2 YR 01/ /94 BANK ACCEP 3.22 3.23 3.26 3.36 30Y RFC 8.625 1/21 124:21 3 YR 03/ /94 LIBOR 2.88 3.25 3.31 3.38 3.50 FED FUNDS 12:56 5 YR 01/ /94 TREASURY WHEN-ISSUED 12:56 LATEST 3.000 7 YR 3MO 3.050 6MO 3.220 1YR 3.510 HIGH 3.125 LOW 3.000 10 YR 03/ /94 PRIME 6.000 DISC 3.000 30 YR 03/ /94
