Federal funds have continued to trade at or close to the discount rate, with trades more frequently below than above it. Dealer loan rates posted by major New York banks have averaged just under 4-3/8 per cent, about the same as in the second half of April. Yields on Treasury bills and on commercial and finance company paper have continued to decline. With demand for bills, especially the shorter maturities, remaining strong, the 3-month bill rate has fallen from around 3.75 per cent in early May to 3.55 per cent most recently. Yields on CD's, on the other hand, have risen, especially on the longest maturities, as some major banks increased their efforts to attract longer-term CD's. Reportedly, a number of banks are paying rates as high as 4-3/4 to 5 per cent for 1-year money. Yields in long-term debt markets continued to move higher in the first three weeks of May under the weight of heavy current and prospective new offerings and other factors affecting investor expectations. Average yields on long-term Treasury bonds are now within 15 basis points, and prime grade corporate and municipal obligations within 30 basis points, of their 1966 peaks. With yields in most sectors of the short-term debt markets declining further, the spread between FINANCIAL MARKET RELATIONSHIPS IN PERSPECTIVE (Monthly averages and, where available, weekly averages of daily figures) arket Indicators Bond Yields Flow of Reserves.

May 19, 1967. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -2 May 19, 1967. short and long-term rates has continued to widen, evidencing market expectations of continued upward pressure on interest rates in the months ahead. In the first three statement weeks ending in May, net free reserves and member bank borrowings have averaged about $275 million and $110 million, respectively. In the four statement weeks ending in April, free reserves had averaged about $80 million less and member bank borrowings about $40 million higher. Growth in total member bank deposits, which had been at an annual rate of 15 per cent in the first four months of the year, fell off sharply in the first half of May and for the month as a whole the bank credit proxy is now expected to increase at a 3-4 per cent annual rate. Allowing for further repayments of Euro-dollar borrowings by major banks would reduce the implied credit expansion by about 1 percentage point. For the December-May period expansion in the bank credit proxy is estimated at an 11-1/2 per cent annual rate (and at 10 per cent including the decline in Euro-dollar balances). The slower growth in total member bank deposits this month has reflected a sharp decline in U.S. Government deposits, only partly offset by an increase in private demand deposits, as well as somewhat slower expansion in total time and savings deposits. Treasury deposits have been reduced by continued acceleration in Federal Government spending, by somewhat larger than expected attrition in the May refunding, and by market purchases by the Treasury of coupon issues for CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -3- the trust funds during the course of the refunding. May 19, 1967. Also, tax receipts are being cut back this month as a result of the new pattern of corporate payments of withheld taxes. Although shifts out of U.S. Government balances have given strong impetus to the growth in private demand deposits, sizable loan repayments following the mid-April tax period have tended to curb the expansion somewhat. On the basis of data through mid-month, private demand deposits and the money supply are expected to increase at annual rates of 15 per cent and 14 per cent, respectively, in May. This expansion would result in a December-May growth rate in money supply of just under 6 per cent. Despite recent increases in posted CD rates, commercial banks have as yet replaced little of the CD run-off they experienced in the April tax period. Banks have concentrated their efforts mainly in attracting longer-term CD funds, presumably in anticipation of both higher loan demands in the fall and further upward pressures on market interest rates. Investors apparently have shown some resistance to placing funds in longer CD maturities and, in the case of shorter CD's, banks have not been willing to bid aggressively for new funds. On the other hand, consumer CD's and passbook savings balances have continued to grow rapidly and, therefore, total time and savings deposits appear to be expanding at a rate of about 13 per cent this month. This is about 4-1/2 percentage points CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -4- May 19, 1967. less than in the first four months of the year, with the drop reflecting entirely the cessation in growth of large negotiable CD's. With the combined total of private and Government demand deposits projected to decline, total required reserves are expected to increase very little in May. Nonborrowed reserves are likely to show a seasonally adjusted increase of perhaps 6 per cent (annual rate), however, reflecting higher excess reserves and lower member bank borrowings. Prospective developments A continuation of prevailing conditions in the money market would imply: Federal funds trading mostly around 4 per cent, with the effective rate averaging slightly below the discount rate; free reserves fluctuating generally within a $200 - $300 million range; member bank borrowings continuing to average somewhat above $100 million; and dealer loan rates at New York banks ranging below 4.50 per cent. Some temporarily greater reserve availability might be needed, however, to cushion churning around the mid-June tax and dividend period. Even assuming unchanged money market conditions, Treasury bill rates probably will continue under downward pressure as a result of seasonal influences in the period ahead. The System will be on the buying side of the market for much of the period until the next Committee meeting; a wide range of investor demands for seasonal and temporary investment and reinvestment purposes should continue strong; CONFIDENTIAL (FR) May 19, 1967. -5- in June a record $5.5 billion of tax anticipation bills would mature. With continuing heavy inflows, the Federal Home Loan Banks will probably continue to offer strength to the short-term market either by buying Treasury bills direct or by redeeming debt, thus freeing private funds for investment in bills. The 3-month bill rate may thus move towards the lower end of a 3.40 - 3.60 per cent range. As this downdrift progresses, however, some offsetting factors should come into play. In particular, the widening spreads between short and intermediate-term yields and between rates on bills and those on CD's and other money market paper may tend to limit the bill rate decline. Also, projections of reserve factors indicate that the System will be shifting from the buying to the selling side of the market around mid-June. Moreover, if the Treasury is forced to draw down its balance with the Reserve Banks in the days immediately preceding the tax date, as seems quite possible, larger System sales to absorb reserves may be needed. Even with further declines in bill rates, however, yields in capital markets may well remain under upward pressure, given the present very uncertain market atmosphere. Despite the appearance of some less optimistic current business statistics, the weight of the new issue calendar and expectations of economic resurgence later on continues to dominate investor attitudes. The market is also beginning to focus on the Treasury's potentially large deficit and the resulting likelihood of heavy second half financing. This could include some CONFIDENTIAL (FR) May 19, 1967. flotations of over-5-year issues in the event that Congress allows some flexibility outside the 4-1/4 per cent ceiling. Also, another issue of FNMA participations is expected shortly. On the other hand, a technical rally in the bond market is possible, especially in U.S. Governments. Some market observers feel that the recent bond yield increases may have outrun current economic developments. And in the Treasury market recent sizable purchases by official accounts have helped to lighten dealer holdings of longer-term issues. On balance, however, we would expect that in the absence of further official actions, underlying market forces would be likely to continue to work toward higher rates. Market expectations, which have played an important role in generating upward pressures on bond yields, have not been associated with any particular signs of strength in bank loan demands in recent weeks. In fact, continued heavy capital market flotations may result in further loan repayments by major corporations. A temporary bulge in bank loans is likely around the mid-June tax date, since projected corporate income tax payments then are very large--even larger than last year. But the improved liquidity position of corporations, including large holdings of June tax bills and of sizable amounts of maturing CD's, and the projected liquidation of business inventories should operate to hold down both bank loan demand and total bank credit expansion May 19, 1967. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) We therefore anticipate that, with money market conditions unchanged, the average increase in the bank credit proxy during June will be at an annual rate in a range of 4-7 per cent, somewhat higher than May's 3-4 per cent but still substantially slower than earlier in the year. Such an increase would bring the annual growth rate in total member bank deposits for the December-June period to 10 - 11 per cent (9 - 10 per cent after allowing for reductions in Euro-dollar borrowings). Deposit movements in June on average should continue the May pattern of large shifts from U.S. Government to private balances. With currency continuing its steady growth of around 6 per cent, the projected increase in private demand deposits would result in money supply expansion in June at an 8 - 11 per cent rate. Such an increase in June would produce a growth rate for the recent expansion period (December-June) of 6 - 7 per cent. Over the entire recent interval of contraction and expansion of the money supply (June 1966-June 1967) the growth rate would be 2.5 per cent. Expansion in total time and savings deposits in June is projected to continue at about the 13 per cent annual rate now expected for May, with consumer-type CD's and passbook savings accounting for all the growth. Favoring continued rapid growth in consumer time and savings deposits are the lower returns available on competing shortterm market instruments and the continuing large volume of personal savings being generated in the economy. The outlook for CD's in June is for some decline around the mid-month tax and dividend dates, although CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -8- May 19, 1967. these declines may be offset in part by stepped-up bank efforts to attract longer-term CD's. With only moderate expansion in bank credit projected for June and with most of the net expansion concentrated in time deposits, only a small increase in required reserves--on the order of 2 per cent, annual rate-- is expected. Effects of greater emphasis on coupon operations If there is sufficient concern about present and immediately prospective bond market conditions, a substantial portion of the System's reserve supplying operations in the weeks ahead could be conducted in coupon operations rather than bills, as was done in the last week. Staff projections indicate a net need for expanded reserves amounting to roughly half a billion dollars over the next four weeks. The possible impact of such operations on longer-term bond yields is most difficult to gauge in the current market environment. In large measure, the level of bond yields will continue to be dominated by market expectations, by the extent to which such expectations are sustained by basic economic developments, and by the flow of new capital issues. Use of System coupon operations to supply part of the projected reserve needs over the next few weeks might have only limited effects on market trends; indeed, developments strengthening market expectations of an economic upturn could overwhelm even substantial System purchases. But in the present state of expectations, which still shows some evidence of indecision, CONFIDENTIAL (FR) May 19, 1967. official account purchases could be positive factors in helping to clear away supplies of Government securities overhanging in the market. In addition, such operations might be followed by a somewhat better bond price performance if the upward rate movement to date has tended to over-discount the near-term economic prospects and market pressures. The configuration of interest rates and reserve relationships delineated on pages 4 to 8 might be altered marginally by a program of System coupon operations. In particular, Treasury bill rates would tend to decline less than specified earlier, and there could be minor sympathetic responses in other short-term rates. There might also be some narrowing in the spread between short- and long-term yields. But Federal funds and dealer loan rates would not likely be affected by the shift in the pattern of System buying, and net marginal reserve availability would, in the context of no change in monetary policy, necessarily remain unchanged. Therefore, we would anticipate no difference in the behavior of the monetary aggregates from those projected above. Table A-1 MARGINAL RESERVE MEASURES (Dollar amounts in millions, based on period averages of daily figures) I Period Excess reserves -- As Monthly (reserves weeks ending in): Member banks borrowings revised to Free reserves date As first published each week As expected at conclusion of each week's 1966--April May June July August September October November December 361 315 370 380 366 375 341 370 333 638 653 722 739 740 765 766 605 529 -277 -339 -352 -359 -374 -390 -425 -235 -196 1967--January February March April p 417 408 368 346 476 366 196 150 + 42 +172 4 11 18 25 395 628 127 516 565 585 217 538 -170 + 43 - 90 - 22 + 67 - 39 - 47 1 8 15 22 340 289 418 583 176 353 456 477 +164 +154* - 64 - 38 - 45 - 50 - 91 - 7 +101 + 2 +117 1 8 15 22 29 159 359 372 566 385 167 202 173 302 135 - 8 +157 +199 +264 +250 +204 5 12 19 26 447 226 470 240 180 145 178 98 +267 +339 + 81 +154 +312 +169 3 10 17 399 362 384 134 63 123 +265 open market opeations ____________________________________________ 4 - 59 +196 Weekly: 1967--Jan.
