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).

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.

CLASS I - FOMC MONETARY AGGREGATES AND MONEY MARKET CONDITIONS Recent developments

(1) For both M1 and M 2 , current projections of FebruaryMarch growth rates are in the lower half of the Committee's operating ranges.

M1 expanded at an annual rate a little below 1 per cent in

February.

Growth is expected to pick up in March and expansion for the

2 months combined is projected at about a 3

per cent rate.

Growth of

M2 has been affected by a sharp deceleration of flows into savings deposits, and for February-March it appears to be running at about a 7¼ per cent rate.

At thrift institutions, there was also an appreciable

slackening of deposit inflows during February--the latest period for which data are available.

Nonborrowed reserves fell in February and

are projected to decline in March, reflecting the weakness in member bank deposits that had developed in January and persisted through the end of February.1/ Growth in Monetary Aggregates over February-March period (SAAR in per cent) Ranges

1/ The recent behavior of nonborrowed reserves is compared with estimates of 6-month growth rates in nonborrowed reserves and related measures believed consistent with longer-run growth ranges for the aggregates

in appendix I.

-2(2) In the weeks immediately following the February FOMC meeting, incoming data suggested that February-March growth rates in both M1 and M 2 would be close to the midpoints of their respective ranges.

Consequently, the Desk continued to aim for a Federal funds rate in the area of 4-5/8--4¾ per cent.

When subsequent information indicated that

both aggregates were expanding at rates in the lower halves of their ranges, the Desk shaded its funds rate objective toward 4-5/8 per cent. (3) Short-term interest rates changed little on balance over the inter-meeting period, but long-term rates rose 10 to 15 basis points. The modest rise in long rates apparently reflected the effects on market expectations of strengthening economic news.

Yields in secondary mortgage

markets rose in sympathy with bond rates, but rates on primary mortgages were virtually unchanged. (4) With yields in long-term markets up after the turn of the year, offerings of new corporate bonds fell substantially in February. Partly in consequence, business demands for short-term credit expanded rapidly.

Bond offerings by State and local governments were maintained

at a very rapid pace in February, and during the inter-meeting period the Treasury raised about $4.1 billion through new issues of 2- and 4-year notes. (5)

The table on the following page shows (in terms of

percentage annual rates of change) related monetary and financial flows

over various time periods.

Federal funds rate (inter-meeting period)

(7) Assuming the Federal funds rate remains around 4-5/8 per cent--the midpoint of the alternative B range--we expect M1 growth in the March-April period to accelerate and be at an annual rate in a 5 to 9 per cent range.

This pick-up in monetary growth is expected in

view of the strengthening in economic activity that appears to be in process.

Tax rebates are not likely to be disbursed until May, and thus

will not directly influence monetary growth rates in March and April.

The

rebates will have a substantial effect on growth in money in the following months; alternative projections of their impact on M1 and M 2 over the spring and summer will be shown in next month's blue book.

At the moment

the staff is tentatively estimating that the rebates will raise the second-quarter growth rate in M 1 (relative to what it otherwise would be) by about 2 percentage points, and lower the third-quarter rate by about the same amount. (Such estimated impacts are included in the tables on pages 5 and 6.) (8) Growth in time deposits other than large CD's is expected to continue at about the recent reduced pace.

-7intermediate-term Treasury issues has increased the attractiveness of market instruments relative to time deposits, especially in view of

earlier rate-cutting by some commercial banks.

Growth in M 2 over the

March-April period under current money market conditions is expected

to move up in a 7-11 per cent annual rate range, however, because of the strengthening anticipated in M1 growth. (9) Credit demands over the next few weeks are likely to be sizable.

The forward calendars suggest that new corporate bond

offerings in March will be substantially above the reduced February pace and that municipal bond offerings will continue large.

In addition,

the Treasury is expected to raise about $6 to 9 billion in new cash between now and the mid-April tax date, although over half of these funds will probably be raised through short-term cash management bills. Business loan demands at banks are expected to remain moderately strong, but the net increase in loans outstanding may be held down in the next few weeks as proceeds of capital market financing are used to pay off earlier bank loans associated with advance refundings. (10)

Given stability in the funds rate, the large near-term

credit demands are likely to be financed with only slight, if any, upward pressure on other interest rates over the next few weeks.

Stronger

upward rate pressures might emerge if favorable economic news and sharply rising money supply figures turned bond market participants bearish.

Over

the longer run, in any event, the staff expects that interest rates, particularly short-term rates, would have to rise significantly further if growth in the monetary aggregates over the QIV '76-QIV '77 period is

-8to be kept within the ranges adopted by the Committee.

Appendix tables

II and III show longer-run projections for the Federal funds rate and the velocity of money under each of the three alternatives. (11)

Alternatives A and C contemplate an easing and tightening

to 4

A decline in the funds rate to the

by relatively modest reductions in other interest rates, if market participants were to view such a decline as temporary in light of the recent indications of strengthening economic activity. be most pronounced in the very short-term area.

Rate declines would

A rise in the funds rate,

as under alternative C, could be accompanied by fairly substantial upward adjustments in short-term rates--of about 50 basis points or so.

Increases

in intermediate- and longer-term rates might be more modest, in view of rate increases that have already occurred in that area and the current relatively light dealer positions. (12)

The decline in the funds rate under alternative A would

probably have to be reversed shortly if the Committee is to attain growth rates in the aggregates within its longer-run ranges.

The easing of the

money market would generate more rapid growth in the aggregates over the next few months than under alternative B, and higher interest rates would be required later in the year to restrain growth.

The tightening of the

money market under alternative C would introduce monetary restraint earlier

in the year and hence would require less of a rise in interest rates by year-end than either alternative A or B.

Directive language

(13) Given below are alternatives for the operational paragraphs of the directive.

The first formulation, like the directive

adopted at the last meeting, places main emphasis on near-term rates of growth in monetary aggregates; it shows--in strike-through form--the

specifications adopted at the last meeting.

The second formulation

places main emphasis on money market conditions.

As suggested below,

the particular language needed in the opening lines would depend on the specific conditions sought; the three alternatives shown--calling, respectively, for somewhat easier, prevailing, and somewhat firmer money market conditions--are intended to be associated with the specifications discussed in the preceding section under alternatives A, B, and C. "Monetary Aggregates" formulation The Committee seeks to encourage near-term rates of growth in M1 and M 2 on a path believed to be reasonably consistent with the longer-run ranges for monetary aggregates cited in the preceding paragraph.

Specifi-

Februarycally, at present, it expects the annual growth rates over the[DEL: 3 to 7] ____ to ____ March]MARCH-APRIL period to be within the ranges of [DEL: 6½to ____ 10½] per cent for M1 and [DEL:

to____

per cent for M2.

In the

judgment of the Committee such growth rates are likely to be associated with a weekly average Federal funds rate of about[DEL: 4-5/8-to-4¾]____ to per cent. ____

If, giving approximately equal weight to M1 and M 2 , it

appears that growth rates over the 2-month period will deviate significantly

-10from the midpoints of the indicated ranges, the operational objective for the Federal funds rate shall be modified in an orderly fashion within a range of ____ to ____ per cent. If it appears during the period before the next meeting that the operating constraints specified above are proving to be significantly inconsistent, the Manager is promptly to notify the Chairman who will then decide whether the situation calls for supplementary instructions from the Committee. "Money Market" formulation At this time, the Committee seeks to maintain about the prevailing money market conditions (or to achieve somewhat easier or somewhat firmer money market conditions) during the period immediately ahead, provided that monetary aggregates appear to be growing at approximately the rates currently expected, which are believed to be on a path reasonably consistent with the longer-run ranges for monetary aggregates cited in the preceding paragraph.

Specifically, the Committee seeks to maintain the

weekly average Federal funds rate at about ____ per cent, so long as M1 and M 2 appear to be growing over the March-April period at annual rates within ranges of ____ to ____ per cent and ____ to ____ per cent, respectively.

If, giving approximately equal weight to M1 and M 2 , it

appears that growth rates over the 2-month period are approaching or moving beyond the limits of the indicated ranges, the operational objective for the weekly average Federal funds rate shall be modified in an orderly fashion within a range of ____ to ____per cent.

-11If it appears during the period before the next meeting that the operating constraints specified above are proving to be significantly inconsistent, the Manager is promptly to notify the Chairman who will then decide whether the situation calls for

supplementary instructions from the Committee.

Growth in both nonborrowed and total reserves from the fourth quarter of 1976 to the first quarter of this year is estimated at about a 2.5 per cent annual rate, below the longer-run growth rates for reserve aggregates shown in the table above.

Over the same period, the monetary

base grew at a 7.0 per cent annual rate, near the longer-run growth rate expected for this measure. in the second quarter.

Reserves are expected to grow more rapidly

In that period, required reserves will increase

sharply because of a temporary increase in the public's holdings of reservable deposits resulting from the proposed tax rebates and social security payments.

NOTE: Weekly data for columns 1 to 4 are statement week averages of daily data. Columns 5 and 6 are 1-day Wednesday quotes (prior to 1976, figures shown are for 60-89 day and 90-119 day ranges, respectively). For columns 7 through 10, the weekly date is the mid-point of the calendar week over which data are averaged. Columns 11 and 12 are 1-day quotes for Friday and Thursday, respectively, following the end of the statement week. Column 13 is an average of contract interest rates on commitments for conventional first mortgages with 80 per cent loan-to-value ratios made by a sample of insured savings and loan associations on the Friday following the end of the statement week. Column 14 gives FNMA auction data for Monday preceding the end of the statement week. Column 15 is a 1-day quote for Monday preceding the end of the statement week. The FNMA auction yield is the average yield in bi-weekly auction for shortterm forward commitments for Government underwritten mortgages. GNMA yields are average net yields to investors on mortgage-backed securities for immediate delivery, assuming prepayment in 12 years on pools of 30-year FHA/VA mortgages carrying the coupon rate 50 basis points below the current FHA/VA ceiling.
