Expectational as well as supply-demand factors had an important bearing on the rate movements. Concern about the viability of prevailing interest rate levels developed early in the period as many narket observers concluded that monetary policy had stopped trending toward ease, as a large and continuing build-up in bond issues came to market, and as security dealers made efforts to lighten inventories. In consequence, the yield on new high grade corporate issues rose from a little over 5 per cent at the time of the last FOMC meeting to around 5.50 per cent, while outstanding 20 year U.S. Government bonds rose from 4.50 to 4.70 per cent. Toward the end of February, bearish bond market expectations were moderated byTreasury trust account purchases of coupon issues for debt limit purposes and by System open market operations, leading to the development of a Federal funds rate fluctuating below 5 per cent, with trading most frequently in a 4-1/2 - 4-3/4 per cent range.

Government bond yields appear to have retraced about half their previous rise, but the response in the corporate market has been more sluggish. As open market operations attempted to moderate rising interest rates in February, nonborrowed reserves rose by an 18.5 per cent annual rate on average. Banks used part of these funds to reduce borrowings from the Federal Reserve. Required reserves did grow rapidly, however, and supported a 15 per cent rate of expansion in total member bank deposits (the bank credit proxy), with most of the rise occurring early in the month. Inclusion of repayments of member bank borrowings from abroad would reduce the bank credit proxy expansion to about 13-14 per cent on average last month. Despite the rapid aggregate reserve expansion and even with the net reserve position of banks averaging just about zero during the four weeks ending March 1, the money market remained relatively taut for much of the period. Member bank borrowings from the Federal Reserve averaged $360 million. Federal funds traded at an average rate of around 5-1/8 per cent until the last few days. The vicissitudes of the Federal funds market were reflected in the 3-month bill rate. It rose to a peak of 4.64 per cent on February 23, and then dropped to 4.54 per cent on February 28. Following the reserve requirement reduction announcement, the rate fell to a new 1967 low of below 4.40 per cent. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -3- March 3, 1967. The tautness of the Federal funds market over the first three weeks of February partly reflected the development of somewhat larger basic reserve deficiencies at major New York City banks than is usual for this time of year. At the same time, funds supplied to the Federal funds market turned out to be smaller than in recent months. Banks were holding on to larger amounts of excess reserves in the middle weeks of February, and the volume of Federal funds transactions reported through the New York market declined from the over $5 billion daily average of the past few months to $4.4 billion during the three weeks ending February 22. The willingness of large banks to pay up for Federal funds appears consistent with the reduced interest that these banks showed in selling negotiable CD's last month, especially those maturing in 2 months or more. With bank issuing rates reduced, the net increase in outstanding CD's declined to around $600 million (measured from the week ending February 1 to an estimate for the week ending March 1). Gross CD sales declined to $4.8 billion in February from $7.4 billion in January. It would appear that banks early in February may have come to prefer to borrow at short-term, including day to day in the Federal funds market, in the expectation at that time that market interest rates were going to decline further or simply because credit demands were not burgeoning. In any event, this behavior tended to put upward pressure on the Federal funds rate, which in turn, as it persisted, contributed to the fading of declining rate expectations. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -4- The growth rate of time deposits was March 3, 1967. 20 per cent on average in February, but the rate of growth dropped considerably as the month progressed and banks became less active in the CD market. Private demand deposits and the money supply also rose in February on average--at annual rates of 6.2 per cent and 6.4 per cent respectively--and the increases were sharper from month-end to month-end. Private deposit expansion reflected the active buying by banks of U.S. Government and State and local government securities during the month. U.S. Government deposits showed little net change on average during the month. Looking at bank deposits and bank credit from the perspective of the past three months (December-February), the daily average series for total member bank deposits has risen at an annual rate of 11.8 per cent (and 10.5 per cent after inclusion of borrowing from abroad). At the same time, the end of month series for outstanding credit of all commercial banks has risen by a 10.8 per cent annual rate (on the basis of preliminary estimates). Most of this expansion has been based on time deposits, of course. In terms of relative shares, time and savings deposits account for 75 per cent of total member bank deposit growth during the 3-month period. Using a rough and ready seasonal adjustment, negotiable CD's accounted for 35 per cent of such total deposit growth. Private demand deposits account for about 10 per cent of the growth, and U.S. Government deposits 15 per cent. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -5- March 3, 1967. Prospective developments The easier conditions in the money market that have recently prevailed (excluding the unusually easy conditions related specifically to the end of a double reserve settlement period) can be characterized as including a Federal funds rate in the 4-1/2 - 5 per cent range, but averaging a little below 4-3/4 per cent, and a 3-month Treasury bill rate in a 4.30 - 4.50 per cent range. The difficulties in specifying consistent money market relationships are compounded by the uncertain effects of the reserve requirement reduction. The reserves released will be widely distributed throughout the country, and, in particular, will affect a great many smaller banks who may be sluggish in utilizing the funds. Thus, over the next few weeks it is probable that a fairly substantial level of net free reserves (possibly rising into the $100-$200 million range) will at times be needed in order to maintain the more comfortable over-all money market conditions that have developed. Factors that would tend to tighten the money market in the weeks ahead include: (a) the auction of $2.7 billion of June tax bills on March 7 (with only 50 per cent tax and loan credit); (b) the CD maturities and loan demand associated with March dividend and tax dates; (c) the reduction in the usual seasonal System bill purchases in the open market in view of the reserve requirement reduction and of the expected temporary decline in the Treasury's balance at the Federal Reserve (and perhaps direct borrowing by the CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -6- March 3, 1967. Treasury) prior to mid-March; and (d) the possibility that part of the expected $600-$900 million of publicly offered FNMA PC's may be in the relatively short-term area. However, over the coming period as a whole, bill demand from the public is likely to be fairly strong, including re-investment of proceeds from large capital market issues, and will provide an offset to such upward market pressures. Money market pressures are most likely to develop in connection with the March tax date. The corporate income tax payments themselves in March, at an estimated $6.8 billion, are slightly lower than last year, but they are funded to a relatively lesser extent by maturing tax bills; however, the regular weekly bill matures the day after the tax date and the proceeds may be used by some corporations to finance tax payments. CD's maturing on the tax date, at $760 million this year, are little changed from last year. It might also be noted that corporations will not have to remit withheld individual income taxes on the corporate tax date this year, but will make these payments in two instalments on March 5 and March 20. Thus, one might not expect the tax date, taken alone, to be associated with exceptional money market pressure, but normal seasonal stresses may be augmented by other factors noted in the previous paragraph, and in particular by the market's need to absorb the new tax bills. March 3, 1967. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) With respect to long-term market rates, it appears likely that they will not back up significantly over the period ahead in view of the recent abatement of bearish expectations about the course of bond prices. But the very large March corporate and State and local government calendar, plus the longer-term portion of the PC's, will probably tend to forestall any very significant rate declines--unless investors and borrowers come strongly to expect further market easing because of additional monetary policy actions and/or mounting signs of economic weakness. On the bank credit and deposit side, the easier money market conditions that have developed appear consistent with a 6-8 per cent increase in the bank credit proxy during March on average. This reflects mainly a continuation of the slower pattern of time deposit growth, especially of CD's. For the month on average time deposits are expected to rise by 8-10 per cent. While banks have the potential for increasing their outstanding CD's sharply, they no longer appear so interested, given the rebuilding they have already accomplished and the uncertain outlook for loan demands, especially beyond the coming March and April tax dates. The current bank credit projection, which we believe consistent with developments in the real economy projected in the green book, assumes that business loan growth at banks will be moderate in March and that banks will not repeat the unusually rapid February restocking of security portfolios. However, the June tax bill CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -8- March 3, 1967. which will be paid for on March 13, will have an expansive effect on bank credit in the latter part of the month. Partly for that reason the bank credit proxy is projected to expand at a 10-12 per cent annual rate from the beginning to the end of the month, as compared with about a 7.5 per cent annual rate from the beginning to the end of February. The money supply is expected to rise sharply in March at a 9-11 per cent annual rate on average, mainly reflecting the sharp increases of late February which carry over to affect the March average. Payments for the tax bill (with 50 per cent coming directly from the public) are likely to hold down growth later in March. And from the end of February to the end of March, little net change in money supply is projected. U.S. Government deposits are expected to decline slightly on average in March, but will build up after mid-month. To encourage a continued downward trend in interest rates, a further easing of money market conditions would appear to be required. This could involve a Federal funds rate fluctuating around the discount rate and a level of net free reserves perhaps as high as $200-$300 million, depending on bank reactions to the reserve requirement reduction. This would undoubtedly keep the bill rate below the present discount rate, perhaps in a 4.15-4.40 per cent range. Under such conditions, expectations could develop that would CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -9- March 3, 1967. contribute to downward yield movement throughout the market structure. But it would still be unlikely that corporate rates would move the entire way back to or through their late January early February lows. In a period such as that ahead, it is very difficult to gauge the likely bank credit expansion consistent with easing market rates. Reportedly, there is still substantial business financing demand for such activities as restructuring financial positions, financing take-overs, providing for spring tax payments and other needs not directly linked to current GNP spending. Some of the recent bulge in capital market financing has been for such purposes-perhaps a substantial part--and some of these demands might move back to banks if bank reserve pressures were eased further and bank rates reduced. To accommodate these demands and also the financing of expenditures directly generating industrial activity and employment might result in substantial reserve provision and bank credit expansion, associated with further interest rate declines. Under these circumstances, bank credit expansion might be at an annual rate of 10 per cent or more. On the other hand, if loan demands were weak--either because widespread business inventory adjustments are in process or because earlier backlogs of pending loans are worked off--bank credit expansion might tend to fall short of these expectations unless banks continued to expand security holdings sharply further. Table A-1 MARGINAL RESERVE MEASURES (Dollar amounts in millions, based on period averages of daily figures) Excess reserves Period As Member banks borrowings revised to Free reserves date As expected at conclusion of each week's open market opeations V Monthly (reserves weeks ending in): As first published each week 1966--January February March April May June July August September October November December 380 357 335 361 315 370 380 366 375 341 370 333 431 474 545 638 653 722 739 740 765 766 605 529 - 51 -117 -210 -277 -339 -352 -359 -374 -390 -425 -235 -196 1967--January p February p Weekly: 412 403 476 366 - 64 + 37 1966-- Nov. 2 9 16 23 30 279 378 547 184 460 594 646 711 439 636 -315 -268 -164 -255 -176 -301 -249 -227 -261 -207 -302 -224 -244 -236 -221 Dec. 7 14 21 28 181 510 204 437 449 647 472 548 -268 -137 -268 -111 -245 -152 -264 -112 -194 -143 -248 - 39 4 11 18 25 395 627 1"25 500 565 585 217 538 -170 + 42 - 92 - 38 -188 + 67 - 39 - 47 -175 + 61 - 53 - 62 Feb. 1 8 15 22 330 316 416 553 176 353 456 477 +154 - 37 - 40 + 76 +154* - 45 - 7 +101 - 50 - 91 + 2 +117 Mar. 1 171 167 + + - 17 1967-- Jan. ____ ____ ___ p - Preliminary ____ _ II __ ___ ____________________ 4 ____L I. 4 1 * - Reflects end of week statistical adjustments increasing F.R. float due to snow storms in the midwest. TABLE A-2 AGGREGATE RESERVES AND RELATED MEASURES Retrospective Changes, Seasonally Adjusted (In per cent, annual rates based on monthly averages of daily figures) Reserve Total Reserves A r e a t e s Monetary Required reserves Nonborrowed Against Nonborrowed Re s Total Demand Deposits T T r lM otal Member Bank Deposits (c it redit)banks) Variables Time Deposits (comm.
