Global Liquidity Index ·may 2026

The Global Liquidity Index is a consolidated, real-time aggregate of the broad money supply (M2/M3) of the world's four largest currency blocks: the United States Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the People's Bank of China, and the Bank of Japan.

In modern macroeconomics, broad money supply expansion acts as the ultimate leading indicator for alternative, finite assets like Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin. When central banks flood the financial system with paper currency, the global pool of liquidity expands, structurally driving the price of hard physical assets higher as more fiat dollars chase a fixed supply of physical goods.

By programmatically collecting, normalising, and converting these massive money supplies into a single USD-equivalent metric daily, we bypass the paywalls and stale screenshots to give you an objective, mathematical look at the true expansion of global currency.

Data Sources & Methodology: U.S. Federal Reserve (M2SL), European Central Bank (M3), Bank of Japan (M2 JPY), and People's Bank of China (M2 CNY). Foreign currencies are converted to USD using daily currency rates ( DEXUSEU, DEXJPUS, DEXCHUS) ingested from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED). All values are represented in Trillions of USD.
