Week ending: June 10,1970

Monetary magnitudes have increased rapidly since
February. In the past three months the money stock has
increased at a 9 per cent annual rate and its demand de­
posit component at an 8.6 per cent rate (pages 4 and 5).
Federal Reserve credit has risen at an 8.5 per cent rate
and the monetary base at a 9 per cent rate (page 2). From
mid-1969 until February, money and private demand deposits
were about unchanged, while Federal Reserve credit and the
monetary base rose at relatively slow annual rates of 1 per
cent and 2.5 per cent, respectively.
The bank credit proxy, that is, total member bank
deposits subject to reserve requirements, has increased at
a 9 per cent rate in the past three months (page 9). The
credit proxy adjusted to include banks' nondeposit sources
of funds has increased at an 8 per cent rate over the same
period.
Most short-term interest rates are about a per­
centage point lower than at the beginning of the year
(pages 10 and 11). The three-month Treasury bill rate,
after declining sharply from 8 per cent in early January
to 6.16 per cent in late March, has risen to an average
of 6.76 per cent in the three days ending June 10. Yields
n prime four- to six-month commercial paper, which fell

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

from 9 per cent in early January to about 8 per cent
in late March and April, averaged 8.13 per cent in the
first half of this week. The lower levels of present
short-term rates compared with the first of the year
probably reflect in considerable measure the rapid
monetary growth.
Rates on longer-term securities show less
change relative to their January levels than short­
term rates. In the three days ending June 10, yields
on three- to five-year Government securities averaged
7.82 per cent, 32 basis points lower than the average
for January. Yields on highest-grade corporate bonds
averaged 8.38 per cent in the first half of this week,
up from about 7.9 per cent in January.
Time deposits have increased at a 15 per
cent rate in the past three months, following more
than a year of decline (page 6). Large certificates
of deposit at large commercial banks, the portion of .
time deposits most sensitive to changes in relative
yields, increased rapidly from early February to late
April (page 8). Since late April the level of large
CD's outstanding has been about unchanged at $13
billion.
