UK M4 Money Supply MoM
Published:
Monthly change in UK broad money (M4ex), published by the Bank of England.
Full explanation
UK M4 Money Supply MoM is the monthly percentage change in the UK's broad money M4, published by the Bank of England in its Money and Credit release. The headline measure excludes intermediate other financial corporations (M4ex) and is seasonally adjusted. M4 is the UK's main broad money measure; it is not the same as the Bank's separate estimate of a euro-area-style M3 for the UK.
Why traders watch it
Broad money growth reflects deposits held by households and businesses and helps gauge spending power.
Stronger vs weaker outcomes
Faster growth than expected points to looser monetary and credit conditions and can support expectations of firmer activity or inflation; slower growth points the other way.
A higher reading means UK broad money rose faster than in the previous month.
A lower reading means it rose more slowly or fell.
Higher means faster; lower means slower.
