About M2 Money Supply (AUD)
M2 money supply for Australia adds savings accounts, money market funds, and small time deposits to M1, providing a broader measure of the money stock. It is the most commonly referenced broad money aggregate in policy analysis.
Why FX traders watch it
M2 growth is a key input to monetarist models of inflation. The Reserve Bank of Australia monitors M2 to assess the pace of credit creation and liquidity in the economy. Rapid M2 expansion can be a precursor to inflation.
How to interpret the data
Above-trend M2 growth over 6–12 months is a medium-term inflation risk and can support a hawkish Reserve Bank of Australia stance, which is aud-positive. Contracting M2 (as seen in some post-QE tightening periods) signals deflationary pressure.
