The US M1 money supply, which includes physical currency and coin, demand deposits, travelers' checks, other checkable deposits, and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts, has risen by a staggering 70% over the past 12 months, according to data tweeted by Jeroen Blokland, Portfolio Manager for the Robeco Multi-Asset funds.
