BOSTON (Reuters) - The New York Federal Reserve on Thursday accepted $78.7 billion in overnight bids from primary dealers in a repurchase agreement (repo) operation, a move intended to keep the federal funds rate within the target range.

Thursday's accepted bids were up from Wednesday's total of $70.1 billion.
