New Prime Rate Hike Sparks Treasury Chief's Mild Rebuttal
Treasury Secretary John Connally called Chase Manhattan’s move to raise the prime rate from 5% to 5% disappointing and said loan demand did not justify the jump. Chemical, Marine Midland, and Irving Trust quickly matched the rise, marking a shift from previous restraint. Connally urged gradual growth with less inflation and warned against volatile policy while Shultz promoted steady gains in output for the year. Sydney’s rapid population growth is noted in the latter item.
