When the Fed sells bonds in open-market operations, it decreases the money supply. If the Fed wants to decrease the money supply, it can raise the reserve requirement. If the Fed wants to increase the money supply, it can reduce the interest rate it pays on reserves. When the FOMC increases its target for the federal funds rate, the money supply will decrease. If people decide to hold less currency after a rash of pickpocketing, the money supply will decrease.
