About Narrow Money (M1) (AUD)

M1 money supply for Australia covers the most liquid forms of money: currency in circulation, demand deposits, and other balances immediately convertible to cash. It is published monthly by the Reserve Bank of Australia or national statistics agency.

Why FX traders watch it

Rapid M1 growth can signal future inflationary pressures via the quantity theory of money. Conversely, shrinking M1 may indicate tightening monetary conditions, which reduces inflation risk but also slows economic activity.

How to interpret the data

M1 alone is rarely a primary FX catalyst, but sustained above-trend growth is a medium-term inflation risk and may increase rate-hike probability, supporting the aud. Contracting M1 is associated with tighter liquidity.
