increases; shifts rightward
When the interest rate increases, the
quantity of money demanded decreases and there is a movement upward along the demand for money curve.
The Fed increases the money supply by buying securities in the open market. As a result the money supply curve will shift _________ and the equilibrium interest rate __________.
right;decreases
