The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some imperfections may remain. Please note that some material may have been redacted from this document if that material was received on a confidential basis. Redacted material is indicated by occasional gaps in the text or by gray boxes around non-text content. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.

In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial printing).

A two-step process was used. An advanced optical character recognition computer program (OCR) first created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

MONETARY AGGREGATES AND MONEY MARKET CONDITIONS Prepared for the Federal Open Market Committee

By the Staff BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

August 20, 1971.

CONFIDENTIAL (FR)

MONETARY AGGREGATES AND MONEY MARKET CONDITIONS Recent developments (1) Security markets have responded strongly to the President's announcement of new domestic and international economic measures.

Prices

of both equities and fixed-income securities bounded upward on the basis of new hopes for stronger economic recovery

and more effective control of

inflation and the balance of payments problem;

and, related to the latter,

expectations that monetary policy might be less restrictive than anticipated earlier.

Yields on Treasury coupon issues have declined by 50 to 70 basis

points; corporate bond yields have dropped by around 80 basis points; and municipal yields have fallen by about 50 basis points. (2) Treasury bill yields have also declined sharply on balance over the past week, as persistent large Desk purchases for foreign official accounts--and more recently for System Account--have tended to pre-empt scarce market supplies of bills at a time when dealers have also been trying to add to depleted positions.

Currently, bill yields are 60 to

80 basis points below their levels of a week ago, with the 3-month issue bid at 4.65 per cent, compared with 5.15 per cent on August 13 per cent at the time of the last Committee meeting. credit markets,

and 5.46

In private short-term

rate declines have thus far been less pronounced--ranging

generally from 1/8 to 1/4 of a percentage point.

-2(3)

The declines in bond yields and Treasury bill rates following

the President's message occurred against a background of relatively taut money market conditions.

In the period immediately following the July 27

Committee meeting, when the outcome of the Treasury's August refinancing operations was still unknown, the Desk sought to maintain fairly steady money market conditions as characterized by a Federal funds rate of about 5-1/2 per the cent or slightly less. Early in August, it became clear that/refinancing operations would turn out successfully, and market conditions in general tended to strengthen.

With growth in the monetary aggregates remaining

substantial, the Desk became a more reluctant supplier of reserves, and the Federal funds rate has since averaged around 5-5/8 per cent, even though other short-term rates declined following the President's address.

In the

face of foreign exchange market uncertainties, banks have generally pursued rather cautious reserve management policies, particularly on the Friday preceding

the Camp David meetings when member bank borrowings bulged to

nearly $1.7 billion.

Borrowings dropped off following the President's speech,

but nevertheless, averaged $1.2 billion in the statement week ending August 18.

Net borrowed reserves for that week ran to an average of nearly $900

million.

Over the earlier weeks of the inter-meeting period, member bank

borrowing ranged from $550 to $750 million, and net borrowed reserves from about $300 to $550 million. (4)

The narrowly defined money supply increased substantially

in July, although at a pace somewhat below the 12 per cent annual rate indicated in the July 27 path (as shown in the table below).

On the basis

-3projected, ^as^ of incomplete data the average level in August is about

but the

annual growth rate is somewhat above path because of the shortfall in July. Growth in the other monetary aggregates in July and apparently also [in early] August was reasonably close to expectations, although the credit proxy edged somewhat above path

in both months and M 2 did the same in August.

The need for reserves in July turned out to be even less than

indicated in the last blue book.

Although growth of reservesin August appears

to be somewhat more rapid than the sharp increase projected, July and August taken together show average reserve growth about on track with staff estimates. The 17 per cent annual growth rate for total reservesin August reflected mainly sharply increased Government deposits--arising from central bank purchases of special Treasury certificates--along with some further growth of private demand deposits.

With average member bank borrowings leveling

off at about the level to which they had risen in July, nonborrowed reserves appear to be growing in August at about the same rate as total reserves.

Prospective developments The President's new economic program seems likely to have at given levels of interest rates. the effect of reducing rates of growth in the aggregates/ First, as the (7)

program strengthens confidence in economic and financial prospects, the drop-off we had been anticipating earlier from the apparently very high recent liquidity demands for money should be accentuated. program should moderate inflationary expectations

Second, the

and reduce the inflation

premiums built into current levels of interest rates.

Third, our projections

indicate that the program will result in slightly smaller increases of nominal GNP over the third and fourth quarters due to an abrupt slowing in the rate of price increase, which implies that the transactions demand for money should also be somewhat lower than otherwise.

Finally, insofar as the program is

viewed by the market as reducing the need for further firming of monetary policy, expectations of upward pressure on interest rates should be lessened. (8)

While the direction of these effects seems clear, their

magnitude is impossible to quantify with any precision.

In addition, in the

very short run these effects may be masked by transitory increases in cash holdings arising from greater investor activity in domestic securities markets and from current disturbances in foreign exchange markets.

As a

result, the problems of forming judgments regarding appropriate growth rates for the monetary and credit aggregates and of estimating probable relations among growth rates in such aggregates

and money market conditions are even

-7-

more difficult than usual.

Under such circumstances one option the Committee

may wish to consider is a neutralist approach in monetary policy for the time being, in order to rock the financial boat as little as possible until ^thecan Committee^ make a fuller

evaluation of the responses to the new program.

(9) Two broad policy approaches are described below which probably define the limits within which most would consider a neutralist policy to fall.

Both, as it happens, might be characterized--in their own contexts--

as policies calling for minimum change.

The first specifies the maintenance

of current money market conditions, a course which the staff believes would imply some weakening after August in the growth rates of the aggregates from those associated with the policy accepted at the last meeting. second would specify maintenance ^of^ growth in M

The

at the rate consistent with

the directive adopted at the last meeting, a course which in our view would require an easing of money market conditions.

The specifications given

for the second alternative (B) might also be employed with directive language presented in a later section under the label of alternative C. As noted in that section, C differs from B with respect to operating techniques rather than objectives.

Specifically, under C the Desk would

place main emphasis on bank reserves rather than on money market conditions in making operating decisions. (10)

The text table that follows specifies:

(1) the growth path

for M 1 thought to be consistent with the unchanged Federal funds rate assumption of alternative A; and (2) the funds rate thought to be needed to achieve the 6 per cent annual growth rate in M1 (for the third and

fourth quarters combined) that was associated with the directive adopted at the last meeting 1/ The table on the next page shows the paths for all of the monetary aggregates under the two alternatives. Alternative A

Staff projections in the last blue book--slightly modified

to take into account the 5-3/8-5-3/4 per cent range for the funds rate approved at the July 27 meeting--indicated that M1 would grow at an annual rate averaging around 7 per cent for August and September and around 4 per cent for the fourth quarter.

Now, however,

seems more likely that a

funds rate at the mid-point of that range would lead to M1 growth at about a 5.0 per cent rate in September and only a 3.0 per cent rate in the fourth quarter.

To achieve M1 growth rates previously specified for the third

-10and fourth quarters--which averaged a little over 6 per cent--a reduction of the funds rate target into a 4-1/2--5 per cent range would seem to be needed. (12)

As explained in the last blue book, the expectation that money

supply growth will taper off in the fourth quarter rests essentially on two propositions:

first, that liquidity demands will abate as economic recovery

helps to restore consumer confidence, and second that the lagged effects of cumulative interest rate advances since last spring will continue to make the high cost of holding cash more and more evident. rates have recently turned down,

Although interest

past experience suggests that, even if

these declines are significantly extended,

their effects on money demands

may not provide much offset to the cumulative effects of earlier rate advances for some time.

The smaller growth now expected in money supply

for the fourth quarter compared to the projection in the last blue book is attributable chiefly to the already-noted possibilities for reduced money demand stemming from the President's program. (13)

To the extent money demands are cut back--either because

curtailed price advances slow the growth of nominal GNP or because of a reduction in liquidity demands--the growth rate in M1 needed to support the expansion in economic activity previously expected is, of course, also smaller.

For this reason, if the staff presumptions about the possible effects

of the President's program are correct, the 8 per cent annual growth rate for M 1 suggested for the last half of the year in the recent chart show would be more than sufficient to support the rate ^of^ economic expansion envisaged in that presentation.

However, given the current highly uncertain status of

-11financial and economic relationships, it is difficult to be sure what rate of growth in M 1 is appropriate or how much confidence one can place in projections based largely on past experience. (14)

Under alternative A, rates of growth in the other monetary

aggregates are projected to slow significantly after August.

The degree of

expected slackening is considerably smaller than for M1, however, reflecting both the probability of somewhat stronger bank credit demands and increased success in competing for consumer-type deposits in an environment of lower market interest rates.

Also Government deposits are assumed to remain at

higher than normal levels, as the Treasury hedges against the possibility of a sudden cash-in of special Treasury certificates by foreign central banks. Under alternative A banks would probably have to press more actively to obtain CD funds than under alternative B in order to offset the slower growth in demand accounts.

Under alternative B, growth rates for both M2 and the credit proxy

show little change from the third to fourth quarters the lower interest rates realized under

the assumption that

^that^ alternative would be associated

with a greater improvement in time deposit performance. (15)

Holding the Federal funds rate close to the recently pre-

vailing rate would be likely to act as a brake on further declines in other interest rates.

In short-term markets, the heavy foreign central bank demands

which have so strongly intensified recent downward pressures on Treasury bill rates should soon abate.

In these circumstances, a reversal in bill rates

can be expected, and that reversal could be particularly sharp if the Federal

-12-

funds rate is held unchanged and dealer financing costs therefore remain relatively high.

Such a development would tend to be reflected in interest

rate expectations in longer-term markets as well, where underlying supplydemand relationships might otherwise maintain downward (16)

pressure on rates.

While the market probably has already discounted some re-

duction in the Federal funds rate, sizable downward movement--say, to the lower end of the range specified in alternative B--would undoubtedly be interpreted by the market as a significant policy move.

This would encourage

further yield declines in both short- and long-term markets.

It is possible

that such a move could carry rates to unsustainably low levels, but, on the other hand, it is still unclear whether the decline in market yields to date has fully discounted the changed outlook on inflation. (17)

Alternative C, as noted earlier, differs from B only with

respect to the indicated operating techniques.

This alternative is provided

in the event the FOMC may wish to move in the direction Committee on the Directive.

recommended by the

If the public appetite for demand as against

time deposits proves different from that assumed in the alternative B specifications, for example, the Committee might nevertheless wish to provide only the quantity of reserves consistent with those projections.

In that

event, the market would have to adjust for any resultant reserve excess or deficiency.

This would imply the possibility of significantly larger

the Committee may wish to set changes in money market conditions, however, ^and^ outside limits of acceptable variation in the Federal funds rate--perhaps

-13a band of plus or minus one percentage point around the 4-3/4 per cent midpoint of the funds rate range specified under alternative B. (18)

If the Committee adopts alternative C it may want to instruct

the Manager to make his operating decisions on the basis of available evidence regarding the relationship between the actual supply of reserves

and the supply considered to be best calculated to promote growth in the monetary and credit aggregates at the desired rates.

In addition, the

Manager might be given leeway to adjust the target paths for total and nonborrowed reserves to take account of deviations in U.S. Government deposits and^in deposit^ distribution between reserve city and country banks from original projections.

The Manager might also be advised that in making day-to-day

operating decisions he should refer particularly to information on nonborrowed reserves, but should also take into account data on member bank

borrowings for what they indicate about both the behavior of total reserves and the degree of tension in the banking system. Similarly, he might be instructed to use information on the cost of reserves--as reflected primarily

in the Federal funds rate--as a supplementary and early indicator of the effective supply of reserves in the market.

(19)

Shown in the table below are monthly and weekly aggregates

reserve paths consistent with alternative C. The indicated percentage growth rates for reserves are far above those projected for M 1 and M 2 chiefly because of the use of reserves to support sharply increased levels of certain

types of deposits (mainly Government deposits) not included in M 1 and M 2 .

-15(20)

Total reserves for both August and September would be expected to

increase at around a 17.0 per cent annual rate of growth.

In the fourth

quarter the rate of increase would be reduced to about half the AugustSeptember rate.

Nonborrowed reserves after declining sharply in July--re-

flecting the over $300 million increase in member bank borrowings--are expected to track very closely to total reserves on the assumption that borrowings will show no appreciable further increase on average in August. In September, however, borrowings are projected to average sharply lower than in August, so that nonborrowed reserves would have to increase at a very rapid pace if targeted rates of growth in M 1 and M 2 are to be achieved.

the decline in borrowings needed to achieve the alternative B paths is somewhat overstated, the growth in nonborrowed reserve could be commensurately smaller.

-16Possible directive language (21)

This section presents three possible alternatives for the

second paragraph of the directive corresponding to the approaches to policy and operating techniques outlined in paragraph ( 9) above. (22)

Alternative A.

This language is proposed for possible use

if the Committee decides to call for maintaining about the prevailing money market conditions,

subject to a proviso clause.

"To implement this policy,

the Committee adopts this alternative,

market conditions notedfor alternative A in

may wish to consider the money paragraph (10) as a description

of "prevailing" conditions, and for purposes of the proviso clause to adopt the growth paths for the monetary and credit aggregates discussed earlier in connection with alternative A as the "expected" paths.

The proviso

clause has been formulated in two-way terms--guarding against shortfalls as well as excesses relative to the expected paths--on the assumption that

-17-

the Committee would not want to see the aggregates grow at less than the indicated rates, which for the months beyond August are below those associated with the directive the Committee adopted at its preceding meeting.

If the

Committee favors a money market orientation for its primary instruction but would prefer to see the aggregates grow at rates somewhat above those projected under unchanged money market conditions, it might modify the alternative A language to call for operations with a view to "attaining somewhat less firm money market conditions" and associate with the revised language the money market and aggregate specifications described above in connection with alternative B. (23)

Alternative B.

This language is

proposed for possible use

if the Committee decides (a) to formulate its primary instruction in terms of desired growth rates in the monetary and credit aggregates, and (b) to adopt as targets growth rates similar to those associated with the directive adopted at the previous meeting, as discussed above in connection with alternative B. current the of account taking "To implement this policy, [DEL: markets,] capital in developments of and financing Treasury more] achieve Committee seeks to PROMOTE [DEL:

Alternative C.

This language is proposed for possible use

if the Committee decides to seek the objectives discussed above in connection with alternative B, but would prefer to have the Desk shift emphasis from money market conditions to bank reserves in implementing policy. current the of account taking "To implement this policy, [DEL: markets,] capital in developments of and financing Treasury

As will be noted, the primary instructions of this

alternative differs from the language of alternative B only in the deletion of the words "and money market" from the phrase "with a view to achieving bank reserve and money market conditions."
