Description

Measures the total money supply (M2) in the economy — including cash, checking deposits, and easily convertible near money. It's a fundamental macroeconomic indicator that reflects liquidity conditions and monetary expansion or contraction. Changes in M2 often precede shifts in asset prices and risk appetite across all markets.

What this endpoint provides

A structured snapshot of recent M2 money supply levels and their percentage changes across multiple timeframes, plus an interpreted trend summary. This allows automations and LLMs to understand whether liquidity conditions are expanding (supportive) or contracting (restrictive).

Interpretation & Use

M2 growth signals monetary expansion, which typically supports asset prices by increasing available liquidity. A consistent "up" trend suggests easing financial conditions and can be treated as macro support. A "down" trend would imply tightening liquidity and reduced systemic support for risk assets. Automations can read the trend_3m or use the natural-language summary to infer the macro liquidity environment, combine it with indicators like fed_funds_rate or treasury_yield, and classify global monetary regimes ("expanding liquidity", "neutral", or "tightening").
