The Two Interesting Graphs

So here are the graphs, sorry they look pretty weird, Microsoft office makes weird graphs. And if it is not clear: the first graph is (change in) Federal Fund Rate and ( change in )Investment. The other is Federal Fund Rate and Savings. Both graphs have two data points per year. The First graph goes back to 1947, the second goes to 1980.

Doesn't this go against the idea that banks are always going to compete for the lowest reserves?

Here is that Debt and Income Graph

So relating this back to interest rates, what would this show?
