Week ending: June 17r 1970

The money stock has risen at a 4.8 per cent
annual rate in the past six months and the demand deposit
component at a 4 per cent rate (pages 4 and 5). In the
past three months these aggregates have increased at
rates of 8.2 per cent and 7.6 per cent, respectively.
Toney declined about $.7 billion in the week ending
^Bhe 10. While such fluctuations cause the growth of
money to appear faster or slower from week to week, the
trend has been rapid since early February, indicating a
growth rate similar to the pace in early 1967.
Short-term market interest rates have been
lower during the recent monetary expansion than at the
turn of the year (pages 10 and 11). Yields on prime
four- to six-month commercial paper, averaged 8.25 per
cent in the three days ending June 17, down from 9 per
cent in late December and early January. The volume of
commercial paper outstanding averaged $38.96 billion in
May, continuing the upward path of the past year (page 8)
Yields on bankers' acceptances averaged 7.84 per cent

in the three days ending June 17, about a percentage
point lower than in early January. The three-month
Treasury bill rate averaged 6.71 per cent in the three
days ending June 17, compared with about 8 per cent in
early January. The Federal funds rate has averaged
7.89 per cent since March, compared with an average of
about 9 per cent from June 1969 to February of this
year.
Yields on long-term securities in recent
weeks have moved above early-January levels. Rising
inflationary expectations have probably strengthened
demands for new long-term funds. Yields on seasoned
highest-grade corporate bonds averaged 8.53 per cent in
the three days ending June 17, up from a level of about
8 per cent in the first four months of the year. Yields
on Aaa state and local bonds averaged 6.85 per cent in
the week ending June 11, up from about 6.50 per cent at
the beginning of the year.
