Among larger U.S. Fedwire Percent commercial banks, this "cap usage rate," or the | Open-noon | | Noon-3 p.m Jf|3-4 p.m portion of caps actually used, averaged less than 40 percent. Of course, as caps are reduced in two steps during the first half of 1988 by a total of one-fourth of their current levels, cap usage rates likely will rise. Nevertheless, the aggregate cap usage rate may be expected to remain moderate. If overdrafts remain unchanged, the aggregate cap usage rate would rise from about 16 percent to 22 percent and, for larger U.S. banks, from 40 to 50 percent when the full reductions of caps are implemented. However, some institutions that use their overdraft caps more intensively will have to reduce their overdrafts as caps are lowered in 1988. In a limited number of cases, these reductions could be substantial. Possible methods for accomplishing this task are discussed below. 1.
