Prefatory Note
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).
2
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
November 16, 1973
MONETARY AGGREGATES AND MONEY MARKET CONDITIONS Recent developments (1) After two months of net decline, the narrowly defined money stock grew at about a 4-1/2 per cent annual rate in October, and there appears to have been a further acceleration in early November. For October and November combined, M 1 appears to be growing at an annual
rate of slightly above 6 per cent, which, as the table shows, is in excess of the range of tolerance adopted at the last Committee meeting.
M 2 is
also exceeding its October-November range of tolerance by a sizable amount, as time and savings deposits other than large CD's have been increasing more rapidly than expected.
However, until the most recent
statement week, large CD's outstanding, continued to decline; as a result, the adjusted credit proxy is likely to show no net growth for the October-November period.
The related cut-back in bank need for reserves
has contributed to a contraction in RPD's, which are running far below the Committee's target range. Table 1 Growth of Monetary Aggregates and RPD's in October-November Target Period Reserves and Monetary Aggregates (Growth at SAAR in per cent)

The marked further attrition in
large CD's reflected both
the high marginal reserve costs of CD's relative to other sources of bank funds and the shift of business borrowing from banks to the commercial paper market.
The interest cost of commercial paper had declined sub-
stantially relative to the prime rate after the last Committee meeting, but most recently commercial paper rates have begun to rise.
Reduced
market rates in October help to explain the faster than anticipated growth in other time and savings deposits at banks, as well as the improved flow of savings funds into savings and loan associations. is
As usual, it
difficult to isolate factors that account for short-run variations in
the demand for M1.
However,
the large liquidation of dollar holdings
by foreign central banks may have been a special factor accounting for temporary increases in the cash balances of those receiving dollars, and financial market uncertainties related to the energy crisis may also have led to some temporary rise in demand for M1. (3)
Early in the inter-meeting period short-term interest
rates recorded further general declines, as market participants continued to anticipate additional System action to correct the sluggish late summer performance of the monetary aggregates.
Later on, however,
as the monetary aggregates showed some strength and the Federal funds rate remained generally stable, market judgments about the likely course of interest rates changed,
and Treasury bill rates began to rise toward
levels consistent with the prevailing funds rate.
Initially, the
adjustment process was relatively gradual, but reactions in foreign exchange markets to the Mid-East oil supply situation entailed large-scale
shifts in funds and triggered sizable foreign central bank liquidation of U.S. Government securities, including special issues.
To protect its cash
position against further liquidation of special issues at a time when overdrafts on the System were no longer available, the Treasury announced an unanticipated bill strip offering, even before its mid-November refunding had been settled.
Responding to these unexpected developments, rates in
short-term markets rose sharply--particularly in the Treasury bill area, where the yield on the 3-month issue moved to about 8-5/8 per cent by November 13. (4)
In view of the sudden unsettlement of the Government
securities market at a time when the Treasury refunding was still in process of distribution, the Desk moved cautiously in its reserve absorption operations.
With market factors tending to supply reserves,
the average Federal funds rate actually edged a little lower for a time. More recently, however, with new issues in the refunding fairly well distributed and general pressures in the credit market tending to subside, the Desk has been able to permit the funds market to tighten, and the Federal funds rate has moved up to 10 per cent or slightly above. At the same time, the 3-month bill rate has fluctuated sharply, dropping abruptly to 7.53 per cent on Thursday and closing at around 7.60 per cent on Friday. (5)
Since the recent behavior of the 3-month issue has reflected
technical market conditions, the basic state of the bill market may be better measured by the 6-month rate, most recently quoted at around 8.20 per cent,
or 90 basis points above its
level at the time of the last
Committee meeting.
In long-term markets, municipal and Treasury bond
yields, have risen 20-25 basis points over the period, but yields on new high-grade corporate issues have shown little net change and mortgage market rates have declined. (6)
The table on the next page shows (in percentage annual
rates of change) selected monetary and financial flows over various recent time periods.
Appendix Table III compares money supply growth
rates computed on a quarterly-average basis with those computed on a last-month-of-quarter basis.

and smaller
due mainly to larger than estimated growth in The rate of growth for the year ending
September in the revised figures will be around 6-1/2--7 per cent, as compared with 5.3 per cent for the unrevised, currently published figures.
All of the tables are,
of course,
based on the unrevised
figures since the new data will not be available on a firm enough
basis
to guide operations between now and the next meeting. (9)
Under alternative B, M1 is indicated to expand in November-
December at a 4-1/2-6-1/2
per cent annual rate, given a Federal funds
rate range centered around 10 per cent.
RPD growth in this period is
expected to be negative, however, because reserves required to be held against bank CD's are expected to drop further despite a projected pick-up in CD issuance later this year. (10)
The demand for M1
(as well as for short-term interest
earning assets) in the near-term is likely to be sustained by financial and economic uncertainties generated by the energy crisis.
In addition
to these precautionary demands for cash, expansion in nominal GNP is projected to be sizable in the fourth quarter and is likely to require expanding transactions demands for money.
However, the impacts of the
energy crisis on transactions demands for cash are by no means clear. If
the crisis lowers the rate of growth in nominal GNP,
transactions
demands would likely be dampened somewhat for any given Federal funds rate.
On the other hand, if
nominal GNP expands about as projected
(even though real GNP growth may be adversely affected), for money may not be significantly altered. effects
are most likely to be felt
these demands
These income and output
after the turn of the year, however.
-8(11)
While any significant income effects of an energy shortage
are likely to come later rather than sooner, market interest rates could be influenced by anticipations of a slowing in income growth and a reduction over the short-run in credit demands.
Thus, between now and the
next meeting of the Committee, short-term rates could drop back toward the late October lows or even further for expectational reasons,
and the
spread between the funds rate and short-term rates could again widen. The recent decline in Treasury bill rates may already have discounted a considerable amount of potential weakness in credit demand, but as indicated earlier, bill rates, and particularly the 3-month bill, have been extremely volatile in recent days. (12)
Apart from expectational effects related to the energy
crisis, upward pressure on short-term rates might be anticipated over the next few weeks as business credit demands at banks and in the open market combined continue fairly strong and as the Treasury comes to market to borrow new cash in early December,
presumably through tax bills.
Our
estimates suggest a cash need of about $4 billion. (13)
Under alternative A the Federal funds rate is
likely to
decline toward 8-3/4 per cent by the next Committee meeting as reserves are provided to support a movement toward the higher longer-run growth path for the aggregates indicated under that alternative.
And under
alternative C the funds rate is likely to rise toward 11-1/2 per cent in
the process of moving toward its
lower aggregate growth path.
Under
current circumstances, the market is sensitive to small changes in the funds rate, and would be even more sensitive to sustained increases or
-9decreases.
Thus, an appreciable decline in market rates is
likely under
alternative A and a large rise under alternative C. (14)
Under alternative C, disintermediation would clearly
once again become a pressing problem, particularly around the year-end reinvestment period.
Under alternative B, however, net inflows of consumer-
type time deposits to banks and to thrift institutions may be at a moderate pace over the next few months.
Growth of such deposits at banks is likely
to slow from the relatively rapid pace of recent months, when banks were able to offer a varied and attractive menu of ceiling-free certificates. Banks and thrift institutions could, however, have an unfavorable experience around the year-end reinvestment period even under alternative B if credit demands are strong enough to generate rising short-term market interest rates around that time. (15)
With regard to bank credit, we have assumed that the
recent rise in the commercial paper rate will lead to a renewal of business loan growth at banks at a moderate pace in the last few weeks of the year and thus to some renewed demand for CD funds.
In addition,
we have assumed a modest net addition to banks' bill holdings, largely as a result of participation in the forthcoming Treasury financing. But we expect most of the bills to be acquired by nonbank investors, after initial tax and loan underwriting by banks.
In part reflecting
these developments, the bank credit proxy is expected to rise modestly in December, following a period of virtual stagnation in October and November taken together.
-10-
(16)
In
long-term markets, a relatively large volume of new
corporate and state and local government bond issues are expected to be offered between now and the mid-December holiday lull.
As a result, bond
yields may come under some upward pressure under alternative B, upward rate pressure would be considerably greater under alternative C.
The
energy crisis could augment upward rate pressures by increasing inflationary expectations and/or by stimulating anticipations of additional real capital investment.
-11Proposed directive (17)
Presented below are three alternative formulations for
the operational paragraph of the directive, which are intended to correspond to the similarly lettered policy alternatives discussed in the preceding section.
In all three alternatives, it is
proposed to
delete the reference to Treasury financing because the quarterly refunding announced on October 24 has been completed.
Alternatives A and C
refer to growth in the monetary aggregates that "has occurred over the past 6 months"; the annual rates of growth from April through October for M1,
M2, and the bank credit proxy are, respectively, 4.8, 7.9, and
9.6 per cent. Alternative A To implement this policy, while taking account of[DEL: the of] and financing Treasury forthcoming
