If the Fed wants to increase the Fed Funds rate, it supplies more short-term securities in open market operations. The increase in the supply of short-term securities restricts the money in circulation since borrowers give money to the Fed. In turn, this decrease in the money supply increases the short-term interest rate because there is less money in circulation (credit) available for borrowers.
Is there a way to see the increase/decrease in supply of short-term securities?
