D A I L Y F I N A N C I A L N E W S S U M M A R Y 02/25/93------------------- News of the Day------------------------- - The Securities and Exchange Commission charged four of Japan's largest brokerage houses Thursday with violating U.S. securities laws, and three of the firms agreed to settle. The SEC filed complaints against Nikko Securities, Daiwa Securities America, Nomura Securities International, and Yamaichi Securities. Each brokerage firm except Nikko agreed to settle. The SEC began a probe in August 1991 after the four Japanese firms admitted to reimbursing big clients in Japan for losses. In its investigation, the SEC found violations of U.S. securities laws. - The supply of M2 fell by $500 million. M3 rose $11.4 billion and M1 was up $1 billion. Wall Street was expecting M2 to be unchanged and M3 to be up $2.4 billion. - Thousands of General Motors Corp. workers face layoffs next week because GM's Jobs Bank fund has run out of money. The Jobs Bank, which once had $1.7 billion, was created for employees represented by the United Auto Workers union who were laid off more than 36 weeks since September 1990. Those employees were called back to work and given their full pay even if there was no specific job for them to fill. - Initial unemployment claims rose 4,000 to 325,000, in the latest reporting week. The figure is in line with expectations. - Sales of stock, and bond and income mutual funds, totaled $36.9 billion in January, according to the Investment Company Institute. That compares with total sales of $38.8 billion in December and $32.6 billion a year ago. Net new sales of stock funds in January were $8.7 billion, compared with $7.5 billion in December and $7.0 billion in January 1992. Net new sales of bond and income funds were $9.7 billion in January versus $5.1 billion in December and $9.2 billion in January 1992. Net new sales exclude reinvested dividends, and subtract redemptions. The liquid asset ratio for equity funds was 9.1% in January, up from 9.0% in December and 7.9% January 1992. Assets of all mutual funds totaled $1.670 trillion in January, compared with $1.6 trillion in December. 02/25/93 BOND YIELDS/INTEREST RATES TREASURIES DISCOUNT CHG YIELD AGENCIES COUPON PRICE T-AUCTION 3 MO T-BILLS 2.94 -.02 3.00 30 YR GNMA 8.50 106:11 RESULTS 6 MO T-BILLS 3.04 -.01 3.13 30 YR GNMA 9.00 107:17 DISCOUNT/YIELD 1 YR T-BILLS 3.18 0.00 3.30 30 YR GNMA 9.50 108:20 3 MO 2.96/ 3.02 NOTES & BONDS PRICE CHG32 YIELD 30 YR GNMA 10.00 109:28 6 MO 3.06/ 3.15 1 YR 5-3/8 02/94 101:31 +0 3.38 3M FFCB 3.020 5/93 100:00 1 YR 3.32/ 3.45 2 YR 3-7/8 02/95 99:27 +0 3.96 6M FFCB 3.180 8/93 100:02 2 YR 3.87 3 YR 4-5/8 02/96 100:21 -1 4.39 1Y FFCB 3.430 2/94 99:31 5 YR 5.16 5 YR 5-1/8 02/98 99:17 NA 5.23 4Y FFCB 6.650 5/96 103:09 7 YR 6-3/8 01/00 104:01 -8 5.66 2Y FHLB 4.750 11/94 101:08 NEXT TREASURY 10 YR 6-1/4 02/03 101:22 -6 6.02 3Y FHLB 5.375 11/95 102:07 AUCTIONS 30 YR 7-1/8 02/23 102:31 -5 6.89 10Y FHLM 7.230 12/02 104:29 3 MO 03/01/93 0/N 30 DAY 60 90 180 5Y FNMA 6.050 1/98 102:27 6 MO 03/01/93 CD 3.07 3.08 3.10 3.18 7Y FNMA 6.100 2/00 101:29 1 YR 03/04/93 COMM PAPER 3.10 3.12 3.13 3.19 10Y FNMA 6.800 1/03 103:31 2 YR 03/24/93 BANK ACCEP 3.05 3.06 3.08 3.12 30Y RFC 8.625 1/21 118:19 3 YR 05/ /93 LIBOR 3.00 3.19 3.19 3.19 3.25 FED FUNDS 5 YR 03/25/93 TREASURY WHEN-ISSUED LATEST 3.063 7 YR 04/ /93 3MO 2.970 6MO 3.045 1YR HIGH 3.063 LOW 2.938 10 YR 05/ /93 PRIME 6.000 DISC 3.000 30 YR 05/ /93 02/25/93 CURRENCY PRICING CURRENCY CLOSE THURSDAY WEDNESDAY THE DOLLAR ON FOREIGN EXCHANGES THU BRITISH POUND $1.4300 $1.4300 MARKET OPEN CANADIAN $ $ .7983 $ .7943 FRANKFURT: 1.6240 Mark +0.0065 DUTCH GUILDER $ .5434 $ .5462 ZURICH: 1.5065 Franc +0.0115 FRENCH FRANC $ .1800 $ .1813 LONDON: $1.4285 -$0.0060 GERMAN MARK $ .6112 $ .6148 TOKYO CLOSE 117.53 +0.60 ITALIAN LIRA $ .000629 $ .000626 NY CLOSE THU WED JAPANESE YEN $ .008514 $ .008514 AUSTRALIAN $ $0.6965 $0.6951 SWISS FRANC $ .6588 $ .6642 MEXICAN PESO $0.3227 $0.3232 N.
