MONEY MARKET AND RESERVE RELATIONSHIPS Recent developments Day-to-day money market rates have generally been slightly lower during the past three weeks--a period including an "even keel" stance in relation to the Treasury's mid-November refunding--than in earlier weeks of September and October. In large part, the easing of such rates has reflected the usual seasonal improvement toward the end of October and in early November of the basic reserve deficiency of major money market banks in New York. With net demands for Federal funds by these banks reduced, the Federal funds rate averaged below 4 per cent during the three statement weeks October 25-November 8, as compared with 4 per cent or slightly above in earlier September-October weeks. New dealer loan rates in New York also averaged about 4 1/8 per cent during the recent period, as compared with 4¼ - 4-3/8 per cent earlier. In view of the reserve distribution favoring major money market banks, the money market rates noted above were consistent with net free reserves running more toward the lower end of the recent range. During the past three weeks net free reserves averaged $200 million and member bank borrowings $90 million, Excess reserves of country banks were relatively low in this period, which included two double settlement weeks. This ease in day-to-day rates was accompanied first by an updrift in bill rates, followed by some easing of bill rates later. FINANCIAL MARKET RELATIONSHIPS IN PERSPECTIVE (Monthly averages and, Period where available, weekly averages of daily figures) Money arket Indicators I Bond Yields Corporate MuniciBorrow- Federal 3-month Free New pal teserves ings Funds TreasU.S. (In millions Rate ury Gov't.

Liquidity demands of investors have been a tempering influence on bill rates, and very short-term bills, as typified by the 1-month bill, have declined in yield. There was little evidence of reaction in short-term markets to the most recent increase in British Bank rate. In contrast to the bill market, there were marked upward interest rate adjustments in the Treasury note and bond market. Intermediate- and longer-term yields rose 15-25 basis points over the past three weeks, largely because of disappointed market hopes for tax action in this session of Congress and in reaction to current and prospective additions to the calendar of new issues in the corporate, municipal, and Federal Government PC markets. Against this background of capital market gloom, the new Treasury issues in the mid-November refunding have traded almost continuously below par since the books were closed. Speculative selling of the long note created some serious pressures in the first few days after books were closed, but such selling has subsequently been minimal. As of the end of business Thursday, dealers' holdings of the 7-year note were down to about $75 million; the bulk of early dealer sales of this note were to Treasury investment accounts, but a steady small investor interest has been in evidence. With respect to the 15-month note, dealer holdings have been reduced to around $335 million, down some $300 million from their original holdings. The latest upward movement in market rates has developed despite a sizable reserve provision. In October, total reserves rose at November 10, 1967. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) about 16 per cent annual rate and the bank credit proxy by 12 per cent, close to expectations. This brings the annual rates of increase for these two variables to 12 and 13 per cent respectively over the first 10 months of the year. Time deposits rose by a 13 per cent annual rate in October, and the money supply, following virtually no growth in September, rose by about 6.5 per cent. For the year to date these two variables have risen at annual rates of 16.5 and 7 per cent respectively. To some extent this year's rapid increase in monetary variables offsets the suppressed rates of growth during the second half of 1966. Over the 16-month period since mid-1966, the bank credit proxy (including Euro-dollars) rose by a 9 per cent annual rate and the money supply 4 per cent. Prospective developments If monetary policy maintains an unchanged stance in terms of money market conditions, the complex of such conditions might include a Federal fund rate ranging around 4 per cent, member bank borrowings averaging around $100 million, and free reserves in a $150-$300 million range. The 3-month bill rate is normally under upward seasonal pressure between now and mid-December, and a 4.50 - 4.80 per cent range for the bill rate seems reasonable over the coming weeks. Upward pressures on bill rates, particularly relatively short bills, may be moderated by the favorable technical position of the bill market, by continued investor demands for liquid market instruments, and by the hiatus in new Treasury bill financing. With respect to the technical position of CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -4- November 10, 1967. the market, dealers continue to have a sizable positive carry on their bill positions. In addition, relatively strong market demand for bills, supplemented by recent System purchases of almost $500 million, has contributed to a reduction in dealer bill holdings from a recent peak of $3.4 billion on October 25 to around $2.5 billion currently. The System will be supplying reserves on balance between now and the next meeting of the Committee, although the precise amount is subject to more than the usual degree of uncertainty. Open market at the Federal Reserve buying will be reduced if, as seems likely, the Treasury cash balance/ will have to be drawn down as the mid-December cash low approaches. Direct borrowing by the Treasury from the System is also a possibility in December. A likely upward drift in bill rates will probably be accompanied by continued uncertainties and upward rate pressures in bond markets in reflection of the heavy municipal and corporate calendar and the concentration of Federal cash borrowing in the PC area (including a possible 20-year maturity as part of the FNMA PC offering). Factors tending to intensify such upward rate pressure are market worries over sterling, concern about the possibility of capital issues control, and prevailing expectations that monetary policy will tighten in view of the doubts surrounding enactment of a program of fiscal restraint. Since the upward rate pressures have so large an expectational component, any political or economic events altering attitudes could be quickly reflected in stabilization of bond markets. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -5- November 10, 1967. With maintenance of prevailing money market conditions appearing consistent with a further updrift in interest rates, the rate of bank credit expansion over the last two months of the year is likely to slow somewhat further, assuming no unexpected shift in credit demands. In the mid-November refunding about $2 billion of new cash was raised, but relatively high interest rates offered on the new issues appeared to attract considerable nonbank subscriptions, including some from individuals. In addition to the placement of new Treasury debt outside the banking system, bank credit expansion is likely to be slowed somewhat as banks' ability to obtain CD funds outside the short maturity area is further limited by continued upward pressures on bill rates and yields on other short-term market instruments. Time and savings deposits in November are expected to increase in a 9-11 per cent range, the slowest monthly increase for the year to date. The competitiveness of large CD's has been adversely affected by yield levels reached by longer-term bills. And there are indications of some retardation in the flow of consumer saving to banks, just as is the case with other savings institutions. In December, the rate of increase in time deposits might remain moderate, influenced by the likely attrition of CD's in connection with the mid-December dividend and tax dates, although some part of funds raised in heavy capital market financing may be temporarily invested in CD's. It is not expected that banks will make particularly aggressive efforts to rebuild CD's rapidly next month--with short CD's the main -6- CONFIDENTIAL (FR) November 10, 1967. practical instrument--unless business loan demands tend to show a resurgence. Neither business inventory nor capital spending behavior yet suggest such a resurgence, but a moderate pick-up in business loan growth at banks might be anticipated if some corporate borrowers shy away from capital markets in view of the high rates there and if business activity in the coming weeks is especially buoyant. Private demand deposits at banks in November are expected to increase on average at an annual rate of 8-10 per cent, and money supply by 6-8 per cent. This growth in money supply follows sharp declines in the last half of October after U.S. Government deposits were increased by the large $4.5 billion tax bill financing. The $2 billion of cash raised in the current refunding is not expected to have so dampening an effect on money supply growth since all the cash will have to be paid out by the Government within a few days of receipt. In December, U.S. Government deposits are expected to decline sharply throughout the month, contributing to a further rapid growth in the money supply on average. Given these diverse deposit flows, bank credit in November is projected to increase in a 7-10 per cent annual rate range, and total reserves by a similar amount. And as a result of offsetting gyrations in private and Governmental demand deposits, in conjunction with the continued slower growth in time deposits, the bank credit proxy in December is likely to grow at a somewhat slower rate than in November. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -7- Policy alternative. November 10, 1967. "Even keel" considerations are not likely to be a significant constraint on monetary policy from midNovember, or shortly thereafter, until at least the latter part of December. Distribution of issues in the mid-November refunding is proceeding relatively well. And, as noted earlier, dealer positions in the long note are comparatively low, while sales of the short note have been at a steady pace. Should the System wish to make a move toward restraint through open market operations, the Committee might consider aiming at a constellation of money market conditions including a Federal funds rate centering on 4 1/8 per cent, member bank borrowings averaging $150$200 million, and free reserves $50-$200 million. under the circumstances might move The 3-month bill rate closer to 5 per cent, as it became apparent that monetary policy was finally tightening, with most market participants probably assuming further tightening to come, and with major money market banks coming under increased pressure in view of the CD ceilings. At the same time, the market would begin to raise questions about possible changes in Regulation Q ceilings and the discount rate. Long-term rates may already reflect some expectations of a tighter monetary policy, but firm evidence that it has developed is likely to lead to further upward rate movements. Moreover, any expectations that this policy change may be the first of a series of moves would tend to increase the premium on anticipatory borrowing and investor reluctance in capital markets. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) -8- November 10, 1967. Borrowers may also attempt to raise or firm up their line of credit with banks, and perhaps even to take down existing commitments to ensure availability of cash at existing rates. If such demands develop, banks are likely to attempt to find additional funds through a variety of means, including sale of short CD's, by active bidding in the Euro-dollar market, and some more aggressive activity in the Federal funds market. Such developments would, in turn, lead to a temporarily somewhat faster growth in reserves and bank credit than with no change in policy. Over the longer run, as policy remains taut, the rate of bank credit and money expansion may moderate, depending on the extent to which banks dispose of assets rather than take their chances in the Federal funds or CD markets, on the response of borrowers to the higher cost of money, and on policy with respect to Regulation Q. LGINAL RESERVE MEASURES (Dollar amounts in millions, based on period averages of daily figures) Excess reserves Period As __ Member banks I borrowinas revised to I Free reserves I date As expected at conclusion of each week's open I Monthly (reserves weeks ending in): As first published each week 1966--October November December 341 370 333 766 605 529 -425 -235 -196 1967--January February March April May June July August September October p 417 408 368 349 369 345 449 356 334 353 476 366 196 150 94 - 59 141 42 172 199 275 257 317 270 252 212 5 12 19 26 462 643 236 453 353 69 51 54 109 574 185 399 152 597 195 403 214 417 Aug. 2 9 16 23 30 295 371 382 473 260 116 91 129 47 46 179 280 253 426 214 206 324 258 422 182 188 319 269 438 202 Sept. 6 13 20 27 332 386 79 288 408 211 106 74 253 316 302 137 275 336 185 219 293 350 217 Oct. 4 11 18 p 25 p 413 249 557 192 144 145 216 58 269 104 341 134 298 151 378 164 271 186 379 106 Nov.
