M2 Money Supply

Latest 23.34 +0.54%
As of 2026-08-01

What Is M2 Money Supply?

M2 is the Federal Reserve’s broad measure of U.S. money: cash in circulation, checking and savings deposits, small time deposits, and retail money market funds. The chart shows the seasonally adjusted total in trillions of dollars.

Why Does M2 Matter for Markets?

M2 tracks how much spendable money is in the system. Fast growth, like 2020–21, has historically come alongside rising asset prices and, later, inflation; outright contraction, like 2022–23, signals tight liquidity.
