What is Narrow Money (M1)?

M1 (narrow money) is the most liquid component of the money supply: currency in circulation plus checking-account balances and other instantly spendable deposits.

Why it matters for FX

M1 growth often leads broader monetary aggregates and can signal shifts in transactions demand for money. Falling M1 growth in an environment of high interest rates often precedes economic slowdowns, which are typically currency-negative through the rate-cut channel.

How to read this page

Watch year-over-year growth and relative changes vs M2 — when M1 contracts faster than M2 grows, savers are shifting from transaction balances into yielding accounts, a sign of tight monetary policy.

What to watch for

  • M1 contraction during rate-hike cycles
  • Shift from M1 to M2 (money-market funds) as a tightening tell
  • Year-over-year vs sequential trends
  • China M1 cycle and property cycle linkage
  • Eurozone M1 historically a recession lead
