The speculative demand for money is very low at this interest rate and equal to only £5 million.

This speculative demand can be quite high when the price of securities is considered certain to fall.

As the rate of interest falls, so the speculative demand for money increases.

We have talked about expectations and their importance in determining the speculative demand for money.

And all this speculative demand pushed prices even higher.

The speculative demand for money balances is termed L 2.

The speculative demand becomes virtually infinite at this minimum rate of interest.

According to Keynesians, the speculative demand for money is highly responsive to changes in interest rates.

Speculative demand is much harder for central banks to accommodate, which they influence by adjusting interest rates.

The speculative demand can be quite large.

The traditional Keynesian approach divides the demand for money into three elements: the transactions, precautionary, and speculative demands.

Conversely, if the rate of interest is low and is thought likely to rise, the speculative demand is likely to be very high.
