Week ending August 23, 1967

INTEREST RATES (Pages 10, 11, and Ik)

MONEY STOCK

The market yield on three-month Treasury bills
averaged 4.34 per cent in the three days ending August 23,
almost a full percentage point higher than the rate in early
June. Interest rates on banker’s acceptances, prime commer­
cial paper, and negotiable certificates of deposit have risen
since mid-year but have remained well below the highs of 1966.

The money supply averaged $177.7 billion in
the four weeks ending August 16, up 5 per cent from the
corresponding period a year ago. Monetary growth over
the past twelve months as a whole has not been sub­
stantially different from the 4.2 per cent rate from
1964 to 1966 and about double the trend rate since 1957.
Sharply contrasting growth rates have characterized
periods within the past year. The money stock in early
February, 1967, was about the same as six months earlier.
In the most recent six months money has risen at a 10
per cent annual rate. Part of this growth reflects
a shift from Government deposits (not included in the
money stock) to private demand deposits.

Interest rates on long-term Government bonds averaged
^■>6 per cent for the three days ending August 23, while the
rates on outstanding highest grade corporate bonds averaged
5.64 per cent. In contrast to short-term securities, the yields
on these longer-term bonds are above their 1966 highs and have
been moving higher almost steadily since early this year.
The yield on 3-to-5 year Treasury securities has been
rising since early April. The average rate for the three
days ending August 23 was 5.36 per cent, which is still below
the high of 5«8o per cent in early September, 1966.
Since mid-June yields on intermediate-term securi­
ties have been higher than on either short or long-term
obligations. This same relationship existed throughout the
period of rising interest rates in the spring and summer of
1966. The implication of this condition may be that the market
ects yields to rise in the near future, but to subsequently
urn to a lower level. From September, 1966, to March, 1967,
yields on both short and intermediate-term securities were
higher than on long-term, while from March to early June the
long-term rates were higher than rates on both short and inter­
mediate-term obligations. This shifting relationship of yields
may have reflected changing expectations with respect to market
yields (see "Changing Structure of Interest Rates" in June,
1967, Review of this Bank).

(Pages 4, 5, and 12)

BUSINESS LOANS (Pages 9 and 13)
Business loans outstanding at large commercial
banks amounted to $63.4 billion on Wednesday, August 16,
up slightly from the previous week, but down about $1
billion from late July. In the six months since February
these loans have increased at an average rate of about
10 per cent per year. By comparison, business loans
at all commercial banks rose at an average 9 per cent
rate from 1957 to 1966.

Rates of change reported in this release are
intended to serve as aids for analyzing recent
developments. Longer periods of time than
covered here are generally required to identify
major turning points.
