Week ending: June 11r 1969

Market interest rates have continued to
rise, and the bank rate to prime business custom­
ers was raised June 9, reaching another new high,
8-1/2 per cent (pages 8 and 9). Rates on 4- to
6-month commercial paper have moved continuously
upward since last August, averaging 8.17 per cent
in the three days ending June 11. Most other
rates have also moved upward since last August,
though the rise in many rates was interrupted
early this spring. Rates on three-month Treasury
bills, long-term Government bonds, and highest
grade corporate bonds declined early this spring,
but have increased since mid-May. The three-month
bill rate averaged 6.58 per cent during the first
half of this week, up from 5.93 per cent in early
May. Yields on long-term Government bonds rose
from 5.77 per cent to 6.08 per cent in the same
period, while yields on corporate Aaa bonds went
from 6.80 per cent to 6.93 per cent.
The demand for loan funds has apparently
continued to rise at a rapid rate as inflationary
pressures have intensified, while one important
source of credit, growth in monetary aggregates,

dhtr

has slowed. The monetary base has risen at a
5.5 per cent rate in the last six months,
compared with 6.5 per cent in the previous year
(page 2). Due to a large jump in May, the
recent rate is still high, even though the
growth of the base decelerated during the first
four months of the year.
Total member bank reserves have increased
at a 3.4 per cent annual rate in the last six
months and reserves available for private demand
deposits have risen at a 1.8 per cent rate since
late November (page 5). By comparison these
aggregates rose 7.5 per cent and 6.4 per cent,
respectively, in the previous year.
The money stock, consisting of currency
and private demand deposits, averaged $195.7
billion in the four weeks ending June 11, up at a
3.5 per cent rate in the last six months (page 5).
Money increased 6.5 per cent last year. The demand
deposit component of money has grown at a 3 per
cent rate in the last six months, compared with
6.2 per cent in 1968 (page 4).

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