Week ending: July 30,

MIG 2 7 1996
Growth rates of monetary aggregates have been
markedly lower since December than during the previous
year. With respect to money and its demand deposit
component, the past seven months can in turn be divided
into a period of moderate growth followed by one of
no change or decline. From December to April both of
these magnitudes had increased at about a 4 per cent
annual rate, down from more than 6 per cent during 1968.
Since April the money stock has shown little net change
(page 5), and demand deposits have declined at a 2.6
per cent rate (page 4).
Total member bank reserves have fallen from
about $27.8 billion in May and early June to about $27
billion in the past four weeks, after about no net change
over the previous five months and a 7 per cent rise in
1968 (page 3). The monetary base has grown at a 1.8
per cent rate since April, about half the rate
from December to April, compared with 6.5 per cent in
1968 (page 2).
Most interest rates increased rapidly in May
and June, but since late June appear to have leveled
off in spite of continued monetary restraint (pages 10
and 11). Yields on prime four- to six-month commercial
paper, bankers' acceptances, and secondary market
certificates of deposit rose about 1-1/2 percentage points

from April to reach 8-1/2 per cent or more in late June
or early July. In the week ending July 4 yields on
commercial paper averaged 8.66 per cent and yields
on bankers' acceptances averaged 8.50 per cent. In
the three days ending July 30, these rates were 8.54
per cent and 8.21 per cent, respectively. Some long­
term rates have been stable since about early June.
Bank lending has come under additional
pressure from the loss of CD's as market rates have re­
mained well above Regulation Q ceilings (page 7).
Until early June, business loans at large banks (page 9)
had continued to increase rapidly as banks liquidated
security holdings and borrowed Eurodollars. During
the past two months, these loans have declined slightly.
The volumes of outstanding commercial paper and
bankers' acceptances in June showed a marked increase.
From December to June, a period in which negotiable
CD's declined $8 billion, commercial paper increased
$4 billion (page 6). Bankers' acceptances increased
from $4.4 billion in December to $4.9 billion in June,
while the percentage of these acceptances held by
commercial banks declined from 35 per cent to 31 per
cent.

Rates of change reported in this release are
intended to serve as summaries which may be
useful in analyzing recent developments.
