Dollar seen as risky currency status  alert

 

The US dollar is going through “a possible regime shift” that could leave it as a “risky” currency going forward, UBS analysts have warned.

 

Even as volatility in financial markets has soared as a result of president Trump’s ever-changing tariff regime, the dollar has been sinking quickly, with the DXY index dropping four per cent since ‘Liberation Day’ to its lowest in three years.

 

“This kind of price action is highly unusual in view of the dollar’s typical role as a key reserve currency that appreciates when asset markets are volatile,” said UBS strategist Shahab Jalinoos.

Err all fiat has been depreciating for a 100 years.

More nonsense,

Everything is priced in USD, therefore the USD is required for international trade.

And probably the most stable currency in the world.

The US dollar’s role in the international monetary system is now dangerously in flux

The argument that the erosion of the dollar’s global status could benefit the US is gaining traction in Washington. That move would be a needless act of self-harm.

Looks like USD is going down after Trump Tariff announcement days ago.

If Trump is Russ agent, he is doing the remarkable job.

Weakening USD, that had been World’s Key Currency for decades.

Paperhand msm consumers are free to dump $US and buy favored currencies like the Zimbabwean $ if they are sufficiently hateful of their country and President.

Until it isn't. The only thing permanent in the world is change.

Do you trust the economic policy of the man whose firms bankrupted multiple times?

Also  busted for tax evasion so many times.

It is the man in the White House now.

 

The GBP is down 11% to the USD last 10 years. So the Brits are dumber than Trump.

 

Gee whiz Trump haters need to buy a clue.

Don't worry.

Those who criticize DT, often know more about economy, than his blind followers.

Certainly not dumb enough to buy Zimbabwean dollar.

So what currency are the irrational Trump haters buying?

Wide range of choice from the Hard Currencies.

To pick one from the above that suits own need.

Some prefer EUR, some might GBP, AUD etc (certainly not Russian Rouble, N/Korean Won).

In foreign exchange dynamics, when one major currency falls, others(in other economic region) often rise).

Strength of the money depends on the level of trust that issuing country gains from the outside world.

Factors: Trade and current account balance, political/social stability, unemployment rate, GDP-Debt ratio etc.

Even though it sometimes moves in the way defying economic fundamentals (by the influx of speculative fund).

If Trump haters are so smart and rich why are they whingeing non stop? They must be raking in millions a year with currency speculation.

Yes, they want the dollar and Trump to fail. Some of these twisted Democrats are siding with China. These types of articles written by experts are adding to the drop in USD strength, because it's sentiment that drives the markets, not real economic data.

 

Let's take a look at the USDX going back 25 years on a monthly chart. It dropped about 10 points in the last 3 months, but this is not the first time this has happened, and it's far too early to predict doom and gloom, but the negative (expert) reporters are trying their damndest to make it collapse. It has ranged between 71 and 120, so now it's somewhere near the average price.

 

I remember having arguments with a friend who was predicting the imminent collapse of the USD 15 years ago.

I think they are so full of hate it does not matter what he does. 2017 to 2019 economy was good yet they whinged non stop. 

Nobody has been panicking since last Friday, as the USDX has been trading in a tight range around 99.5 points.

 

For those who think the USD will lose its place as THE global reserve currency, what will replace it?

 

Daily trading volume in the Forex Market:

 

USD: $6.6 trillion

EURO: $2.3 trillion

Japanese Yen: $1.2 trillion

GBP: 968 billion GBP

CNH (China): $526 billion

AUD: $479 billion

CAD: $467 billion

And it's down 16.11% compared to the Euro. Does that mean the Euro is a stronger currency than the dollar?

US power comes from the USD.  Just ask Saddam.  DXY to 120.

No. International companies are shifting to the stable Euro and also the Chinese currency is gaining value.

The horrendous debts might destroy America, at least the trust in stability and reliability. Trump is working on it.😕

yessir IMHO Trump stepped right into the trap set by BRICS!  All those countries can sit back and watch Trump destroy the US economy and the dollar as the most stable currency.  What a total idiot for sure.  Hope all the Maga folks love what he is doing to them too!  I am anti-democrat and have been since the 60's but Trump sure makes me hate the Republicans too!  Time for a 3rd party that really wants to help the citizens of the US and the world.

Great time to invest in the US and the dollar. 

 

When Trump's policies kick in the place will flourish.
