Source: U.S. Treasury. 7 Reserve measures of recent weeks reflect increases in required reserves, largely in November, associated with the reduction of weekend avoidance activities of a few large banks. The reduction of these activities leads to essentially a one-time increase—currently estimated at $550 to $600 million—in the average level of required reserves that need to be held for a given level of deposits entering the money supply. This increase in required reserves would raise reserve aggregates for technical reasons unrelated to monetary policy. Growth rates shown in parentheses reflect adjustment for this technical factor. No significant influence on money supply data has been identified as a result of this technical change. NOTE: All percentage changes are at seasonally adjusted annual rates, not compounded. p—Indicates preliminary data. Special caution should be taken in interpreting week-to-week changes in money supply data, which are often highly volatile and subject to revision in subsequent weeks and months.
