How to use US currency supply to analyze the US economy?

Sometimes, currency supply indicators are closely linked to the GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP), price level and inflation.At the same time, it can make certain predictions on the future development of the economy.

Under normal circumstances, the increase in currency supply usually causes reduction in interest rates.Then consumers can borrow funds for consumption at lower interest, and enterprises can have more funds to increase production efficiency.Generally, they will stimulate consumption and accelerate.Economic development and improving employment rates.Conversely, if the amount of currency supply decreases or the growth rate decreases, the opposite will occur, that is, increased interest rates, decreased consumer consumption capacity, and shortage of corporate development funds.At the same timeLosses will cause the overall economic development to slow down and increase the unemployment rate.

However, from the beginning of the past ten years, the relationship between the currency supply indicators and the economic development, the relationship between GDP, and inflation have become as stable in the past.At the same time, it is impossible to achieve the expected economic regulatory purpose by adjusting the money supply.Even the former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan GreenSpan believes that if you still adhere to the monetary supply index M2 to guide monetary policy regulation, this will lead to economic recession.Therefore, although the amount of currency supply is still a widely used indicator, its guidance position in the final decision has been the same as that of a large amount of economic data.
