Introduction

The money market supplies the cash needs of short-term borrowers and provides savers who hold temporary cash surpluses with an interest-bearing outlet for their funds. In this chapter, we will explore how commercial banks, major corporations, and government-sponsored credit agencies contribute to the global money market.

Federal Funds Provided by the Banking System

Federal funds are any monies available for immediate payment (i.e. same-day money). They are generally transferred from one depository institution to another by simple bookkeeping entries requested via an online computer system, by wire, or by telephone. Federal funds are the principal means of making payments in the money market.

11 - 8

Federal Funds Provided by the Banking System

The term federal funds came about because early in the development of the market, the principal source of immediately-available money was the reserve balance that each Federal Reserve System member bank had to keep at the Federal Reserve bank in its region. Today, the federal funds market is broader in scope some deposits with commercial banks are also available for immediate transfer.

11 - 9

Federal Funds Provided by the Banking System

Banks and other depository institutions must hold in a special legal reserve account liquid assets equal to a fraction of the funds deposited with them by the public. This legal reserve requirement is calculated on a daily average basis over a two-week period, known as the reserve computation period. The federal funds market is an indispensable tool for such daily reserve management.

Federal Funds Provided by the Banking System

There are three principal segments of the Fed funds market among banks today:
brokered funds nonbrokered direct loans among major banks correspondent rebookings, where smaller banks loan their excess reserves through the deposits they hold at large correspondent banks in money centers

Federal Funds Provided by the Banking System

Commercial banks borrow billions of dollars each day in the federal funds market. Most federal funds loans are either overnight transactions or continuing contracts that have no specific maturity and that can be terminated without advance notice by either party. One-day loans carry a fixed rate of interest, but continuing contracts often do not.

Federal Funds Provided by the Banking System

Beginning 1989, the Federal Reserve has routinely set target levels for the federal funds rate, and raised or lowered those targets depending on whether it wishes to slow down borrowing and spending in the economy or speed them up. Through daily open market operations (buying and selling securities), the Fed is able to push the funds rate in the desired direction.

Negotiable Certificates of Deposit

A certificate of deposit (CD) is an interest-bearing receipt for funds left with a depository institution for a set period of time. True money market CDs are negotiable CDs that may be sold any number of times before maturity and that carry a minimum denomination of $100,000. They were introduced in 1961 to attract lost deposits back into the banking system.

Negotiable Certificates of Deposit

CD interest rates are computed as a yield to maturity (ytm) on a 360-day basis.

Interest = term in days v deposit v promised income 360 principal ytm

In secondary market trading, the bank discount rate (DR) is used as a measure of CD yields.

Negotiable Certificates of Deposit

The principal buyers of negotiable CDs include corporations, state and local governments, foreign central banks and governments, wealthy individuals, and a variety of financial institutions. Most buyers hold CDs until they mature. However, prime-rate CDs are actively traded in the secondary market.

Eurocurrency Deposits

The Eurocurrency market has arisen because of the tremendous need worldwide for funds denominated in dollars, Euros, pounds, and other relatively stable currencies. The Eurocurrency market represents the largest of all money markets worldwide, with total funds probably in excess of $4 trillion.

Eurocurrency Deposits

Eurodollars are deposits of U.S. dollars in banks located outside the U.S. The large majority of Eurodollar deposits are held in Europe, although Europes share of the total is declining.

Eurocurrency Deposits

Eurodollars and other Eurocurrency deposits are continually on the move in the form of loans. They are employed to finance the import and export of goods, to supplement government tax revenues, to provide working capital for the foreign operations of multinational corporations, and to provide liquid reserves for the largest banks.

Eurocurrency Deposits

When a dollar deposit is moved to a bank located outside the U.S., that bank then holds claim to the original dollar deposit in the U.S. When a Eurodollar loan is made, the borrower receives a claim against dollars deposited in U.S. banks. Funds are merely passed from one U.S. bank to another. The total amount of dollar deposits and U.S. bank reserves remains unchanged.

Eurocurrency Maturities and Risks

Most Eurocurrency deposits are short-term deposits ranging from overnight to one year, although a small percentage are long-term time deposits. Eurocurrency deposits are known to be volatile and highly sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates and currency prices. They also carry political risk and default risk.

Eurodollars in U.S. Domestic Bank Operations

U.S. banks draw heavily on overnight Eurodollar deposits as a means of adjusting their domestic reserve positions. Eurodollars usually carry higher reported interest rates than many other sources of bank reserves. However, there are fewer legal restrictions on the borrowing of Eurodollars. U.S. banks also aid their customers in acquiring Eurocurrency deposits and loans.

Eurodollars in U.S. Domestic Bank Operations

Eurodollar loan rates extended by major international banks and other leading lenders have two components:
the cost of acquiring the Eurocurrency deposits (usually measured by the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) on three- or six-month Eurodeposits); and a profit margin (spread) based on the riskiness of the loan and the intensity of competition.

Recent Innovations in the Eurocurrency Markets

Beginning in the 1980s, the Eurocurrency market witnessed rapid growth in medium-term credit arrangements between international banks and their corporate and governmental customers. These so-called note issuance facilities (NIFs) often span five to seven years and allow the customer to borrow in his or her own name by selling short-term IOUs (typically maturing in three to six months) to investors.

Bankers Acceptances

A bankers acceptance is a time draft drawn on and endorsed by an importers bank. Acceptances are used in international trade because most exporters are uncertain of the credit standing of their importers. The issuing bank unconditionally guarantees to pay the face value of the acceptance when it matures, thus shielding exporters and investors in international markets from default risk.

The Growth and Decline of Acceptance Financing

The volume of US$ acceptances outstanding grew rapidly, from less than $400 million in 1950, to slightly more than $7 billion in 1970, and almost $80 billion in 1984. Then the volume declined sharply to $10 billion in 2000, as several leading export nations entered a recession, as economic problems developed in Asia, and as businesses turn to other payment and financing methods.

11 - 40

Acceptance Rates

Acceptances do not carry a fixed rate of interest, but are sold at a discount in the open market like Treasury bills. The yield on acceptances is usually only slightly higher than the yield on Treasury bills, and close to the negotiable CD rates offered by major banks, because of the high credit quality of the banks that issue the acceptances and CDs.

Prominent Investors in Acceptances

Investors in acceptances include banks, industrial corporations, money market mutual funds, local governments, federal agencies, and insurance companies. To many investors, acceptances are a close substitute for Treasury bills, negotiable CDs, or commercial paper in terms of quality, although the acceptance market is far smaller in terms of the volume of trading.

Bank Activity in the Money Market

In the 1960s and 1970s, competition forced major corporations to seek out alternative investments for their short-term funds. Bankers thus turned to the money market for additional funds negotiable CDs appeared and the federal funds market was broadened. Then, as policies were tightened, many bankers turned to the Eurocurrency market and RPs backed by government securities.

11 - 46

Bank Activity in the Money Market

All these clever bank maneuvers form part of a technique called liability management. By varying the daily interest rates offered on CDs and other funds sources, bankers can gain a measure of control over their liabilities.
- If a bank needs more funds on a given day, the bank can simply offer a higher yield on the particular money market instrument that it desires to use.

Commercial Paper

Commercial paper consists of short-term, unsecured promissory notes issued by well-known and financially strong companies. Commercial paper is traded mainly in the primary market. Opportunities for resale in the secondary market are more limited. Commercial paper is rated prime, desirable, or satisfactory, depending on the credit standing of the issuing company.

Types of Commercial Paper

There are two major types of commercial paper. Direct paper is issued mainly by large finance companies and bank holding companies directly to the investor. Dealer paper, or industrial paper, is issued by security dealers on behalf of their corporate customers (mainly nonfinancial companies and smaller financial companies).

Commercial Paper Ratings & Dealer Operations

Commercial paper is rated prime, desirable, or satisfactory, depending on the credit standing of the issuing company. Generally, investors prefer notes bearing credit ratings from at least two rating agencies. The market is concentrated among a handful of dealers. Top commercial paper dealers today include Citicorp, the CreditSuisse-First Boston Corporation, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, and Merrill Lynch.

Credit Agencies in the Money Market

Certain sectors of the economy, such as agriculture, housing, small businesses, and college students, appear to have an unusually difficult time raising funds in the money and capital markets. Beginning in 1916, the U.S. federal government created special agencies to make direct loans or guarantee private loans to these disadvantaged borrowers.
