The money market has displayed a tight atmosphere since the last meeting of the Committee, reflecting in part a much larger than seasonal increase in required reserves and also the tight reserve positions that developed at major money market banks, especially those in New York. Federal funds traded at an effective rate of 4-1/2 per cent in the two statement weeks ending December 22 and since then have traded mainly at 4-5/8 per cent. Dealer borrowing costs have also moved into a higher range. Treasury bill rates and other short-term rates have continued to move higher since their initial adjustments following the Federal Reserve actions in early December. CD rates in New York were most recently reported in a 4.75 - 4.80 per cent range for less than 3-month money, and 4.80 - 4.90 per cent for 3 to 6-month maturities. Banks reportedly are concentrating CD sales in the short-term area, where quoted yields are currently competitive with Treasury bills. The 3-month bill rate has risen to around 4.55 per cent, in response partly to the heavy January Treasury financing schedule (including $100 million of weekly additions to the 3-month bill auction), partly to the increased cost of dealer financing, and most recently to a reversal of year-end window dressing operations. These factors have operated against the background of a shift in market attitudes more firmly to the belief that interest rates generally are likely to show an upward drift over the months ahead in view of widespread forecasts of continuing economic strength. FINANCIAL MARKET RELATIONSHIPS IN PERSPECTIVE (Monthly averages and, where available, weekly averages of daily figures; amounts in millions of dollars) Period 1964 - Dec. 127 278 3.81 3.84 4.18 4.47 3.01 +260c + 49 + 1965 - Jan.

January 7, 1966 -2- CONFIDENTIAL (FR) The rise in bill rates was moderated to a degree by the System's willingness to finance on a temporary basis a sizable portion of dealer inventories at a relatively attractive rate. Between December 23 and January 6, the System acquired, gross, slightly more than $2 billion of short-term repurchase agreements with nonbank dealers. In the four statement weeks ending January 5, 1966, reserve availability at all member banks declined from net free reserves of $75 million in the week ending December 15 to net borrowed reserves of $180 in the week of January 5, when markets were affected by the transit strike in New York. Member bank borrowings ranged from a low of $218 million in the week of December 22 to a high of $561 million in the week of January 5. For the four-week period as a whole net borrowed reserves averaged $43 million and member bank borrowings $453 million. These reserve figures were accompanied by a 3-month bill rate averaging 4.45 per cent and a Federal funds rate averaging 4.53 per cent. Prospective developments. While some earlier market uncer- tainties have passed, such as those related to the tax date and the Treasury's January financing plans, the market is still in process of adjustment. Thus, the outlook over the next three weeks for both the degree of money market pressure and the interrelationships among money market variables remains difficult to assess. In the period ahead, attitudes in both the bill and bond markets will be importantly influenced by the content of the Budget Document, to be forthcoming CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -3- in about two weeks, and by whether there is either dramatic success or failure in current peace overtures in relation to Vietnam. Bill demand has been strong recently, and some seasonal easing of bill rates often develops as January progresses. But the more than seasonal strength in public and private credit demands currently foreseen may tend to be an offsetting factor this year. More intensive efforts by banks to obtain CD money would contribute to pressures in short-term markets, while credit demands generally may serve not only to keep bill yields from showing much, if any, seasonal improvement but may also tend to keep bond yields under pressure. Taking these considerations into account, and in the absence of expectational shocks, the 3-month bill rate may fluctuate in a 4.50 to 4.60 per cent range over the next three weeks, assuming net borrowed reserves are around $100 million. A movement of the bill rate to a range consistently below the discount rate, say 4.40 4.50 per cent, is likely to require an easier reserve position, possibly a positive one given the current market outlook. Reserve flows, bank credit, and money Recent developments. Strengthened credit demands on banks brought forth a larger than anticipated expansion of required reserves in December. This reserve need was accompanied by a very rapid expan- sion in nonborrowed reserves (21 per cent annual rate for the month). Member banks borrowed more in December than in November, but this rise in borrowings appeared to be less than seasonal as total reserves for the month grew somewhat less than nonborrowed. -4- CONFIDENTIAL (FR) Prospective developments. With respect to the effect of market factors on the reserve supply in the weeks ahead, the usual seasonal inflow of currency from circulation is the principal factor supplying nonborrowed reserves. Float is projected to provide a partial offset by absorbing reserves in the latter part of January. The System will probably need to absorb reserves over the next two weeks if net borrowed reserves are kept in the neighborhood of $100 million; resumption of reserve supplying operations will be needed toward the end of January. Expansion in both nonborrowed and total reserves is likely to continue in January at fairly high rates, although reduced below December. The strength of projected expansion in aggregate reserves is partly the result of expectations of continued strong loan demands on banks and of bank participation in Government financings because of the use of tax and loan account credits. Bank credit on a daily average basis, as indicated by total member bank deposits, may increase this month at near the 11 per cent December pace. Projections of strong reserve growth also hinge on expectations that the deposit mix will continue to require more reserves per dollar of deposits, as in December. Growth of outstanding time and savings deposits in January may not be much above the reduced 11.5 per cent December pace in view of the large CD maturities scheduled for the current month. With time deposit growth continuingat this less rapid pace, and with strong loan demand on banks, private demand CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -5- deposits are likely to expand further. An offsetting influence, however, would be the greater than seasonal expansion expected for U.S. Government deposits as a result of the concentration of financing in the current month. Private demand deposits are likely to grow over the next few months somewhat above the 4.5 per cent rate for the year 1965 as a whole. Table A-1 MARGINAL RESERVE MEASURES (Dollar amounts in millions, based on period averages of daily figures) Excess reserves Period As 4 Member bank borrowines ised rev Free to V reserves date I Policy periods expected at conclusiol of each week's open market operationE 12/19/62 - 5/22/63 481 179 302 5/22/63 - 7/31/63 437 276 161 7/31/63 - 8/19/64 407 292 115 8/19/64 - 2/3/65 413 325 88 2/3/65 - 3/24/65 3/24/65 - 1/5/66 386 405 - 19 368 500 -132 405 278 127 418 432 345 338 331 356 348 382 408 355 339 427 303 406 395 471 490 534 526 549 552 490 418 452 115 26 440 298 490 193 536 495 591 338 - 96 - 40 -189 - 97 -137 - 35 -197 -101 -145 3 10 17 24 379 428 317 230 486 334 489 361 -107 94 -172 -131 -118 62 -198 -163 -118 37 -189 -177 1 8 15 22 29 1966--Jan. 5 424 455 561 232 464 382 534 478 486 218 546 562 -110 -147 20 57 4 - 82 -153 9 71 17 - 79 -180 -179 -174 Monthly (reserve weeks ending in): 1964--December 1965--January February March April May June July August September October November December p Weekly 1965--Oct.

Changes in Federal Reserve credit indicate reserves needed to offset projected changes in required reserves and factors affecting the supply of reserves. 2. Projected changes in currency outside banks reflect seasonal movements plus an allowance for growth of about $30 million per week. 3. Projected effects of Treasury operations, included in "technical factors," reflect scheduled and assumed calls in current two weeks and thereafter, maintenance of Treasury balances with Federal Reserve at $600 million. 4. Projected changes in gold stock reflect assumed outflow after January at the rate of about $50 million per month. 5. Projected changes in required reserves reflect estimated seasonal movements in private deposits, except as indicated in projections in Table B-2, and projected movements in U.S. Government demand deposits. Government deposit projections are based on anticipated Treasury receipts and expenditures and the following assumed financing operation: -a $100 million increase in the weekly Treasury bill auction from January 13 to March 31; $1.5 billion, January 19; $0.8 billion, February -15. Table B-2 CHANGES IN REQUIRED RESERVE COMPONENTS Retrospective and Prospective Seasonal and Nonseasonal Changes (Dollar amounts in millions, based on weekly averages of daily figures) Total Perioderiod required required reserves reserves Supporting U.
