2 Bloomberg: The Bloomberg #Dollar Spot Index’s 2% gain in March has scrambled Wall Street’s playbook for the world’s dominant #reservecurrency. It also risks adding to #inflationary pressures around the world by making oil and food crops — denominated in dollars — even more expensive for importers.

This has got to have a bunch of the elites in banking, politics, and the rest of the corrupt moneyed establishment shaking in their boots, as they say.
In short: the USA has enjoyed a privileged position since the end of WWII, because the #US #dollar has been the de-facto standard international #currency. Not just for trade, but as a reserve as well. Other countries buy US-issued government #bonds by the absolute truckload, and it lets the US spend far above its income without triggering the #hyperinflation you see when another country does that by printing money (see: Zimbabwe).
The foundation of that international currency choice is the oil trade. Pretty much every oil transaction between parties in different countries uses US dollars, hence the "petrodollar' name.
#Chinese yuan becoming an alternate global reserve and trading currency has been a worry for the US for some years now. Oil transactions happening in #yuan could make it happen in a big way.
And then the dominoes might start falling. I'd say "popcorn time", but the collateral damage to the US #economy collapsing will have huge consequences for us all.

In the third Q of 2025, just under 2% of all global reserves were held in renminbi, as opposed to just under 60% held in dollars.
Xi Jinping has called for people to utilise the renminbi as a reserve currency more, but this looks like it will take some to achieve.
As the renminbi is second in trade financing & might we see a swing in reserves too?
If so, this may cause the US some difficulties; the 'exorbitant privilege' would be damaged at the very least.

The world is edging toward a financial storm with few safe harbours in sight
"Te #dollar’s dominance - long seen as unassailable - is now under real strain as global investors, central banks & even #US allies start hedging against a post-dollar world.. a #reservecurrency must rest on 6 pillars: macroeconomic stability, liquid financial markets, #centralbank independence, capital mobility, rule of #law, & geopolitical trust. #tRump US admin has weakened every one of them"🤦♂️

4 Bloomberg: The #hedging — which involves using #derivatives to bet against the world’s primary #reservecurrency — helps explain why the #dollar is teetering around its weakest level since 2022 even as #USstocks have rallied. 🧵

Bloomberg: #Taiwan’s #dollar surged as much as 5%, the biggest jump since the 1980s, on speculation #exporters are rushing to convert their holdings of #USdollars to the island’s #currency. The #volatility shows how an exodus from the world’s #reservecurrency can ripple through #financialmarkets.

#RichardMurphy looks ahead to attempt to divine what might happen if Trump causes the #USDollar to fail. It is currently, and has been since taking over from #PoundSterling around the time of WWII, the de facto #ReserveCurrency of the World.

Is the US Dollar Dead? 💵⚖️
In this short clip from my Sharpe Way LIVE show, I react to a comment about the US dollar losing its world reserve currency status. I explain why I don’t believe it’s happening—yet. China hasn’t united the world against the dollar, and global culture still sees it as king. But if Trump’s tariffs return without solid trade deals, things could shift fast.

"...some have speculated that the euro could displace the dollar as the preferred global reserve currency"
"...it seems possible that the Trump ‘tariff shock’ could be that tipping point"
"The proportion of world reserves held in euros has been slowly growing"
"...the end result may be a global economy that no longer needs the USA...[mirroring] the plight of the UK in relation to the European Union after Brexit"

Okay, hear me out... now that #US #hegemony is dying, isn't it perhaps time to discuss a new #global #reservecurrency ? Wait, wait!! HEAR ME OUT!!!
We could just say every continent, sub continent or economic area should hold X amount of Yens, Euros, USDs and leave it at that, but I think we all realize how that's going to go.
So I put it to you, dear reader. If we could create some central bank devoid of fractional reserve banking and other gambling, to form a trade currency that all can use.

🔴 🇺🇸 📖 **Is King Dollar’s Reign Coming to an End?**
“My book shows—pretty convincingly, as I hope readers will agree—that the dollar will remain firmly atop the global currency heap, barring the adoption of catastrophically wrongheaded policies by the US government.”

The #USdollar is a problem for everyone
"In 1971, #US #Treasury Secretary #JohnConnally famously told his counterparts in G10 tt "the #dollar is our #currency, but it's your #problem". Connally was being unexpectedly candid abt e fact tt, even tho the #greenback was the world's main #reservecurrency, its foremost purpose was to advance #USinterests. That remains true today. The spillovers fr the #Fed's higher-for-longer #policy position r perhaps most pronounced in Japan"

On launch day they are all set up to trade in NCR electronically and they price oil and other commodities in NCR and announce that they will use only NCR for trade—and as the only genuinely hard reserve currency in the world.

I have literally been waiting for this headline to drop: "#PeterThiel started the #BankRun".
What better way, apart from the #DebtDefault of the #US following the failure to raise the #DebtCeiling*, to bring down the #dollar as #ReserveCurrency?
"Bottom line: Peter Thiel and #ElonMusk have allied with #Putin and #oil/gas interests to try to undermine the dollar as the world’s reserve currency..."

"If that happens, The Social Security trust fund could be exhausted much sooner than projected and that would give more folly to #Republicans to try to end #SocialSecurity, cut it or privatize it, other reforms to destroy it..."
I think that might even be the goal, apart from getting rid of the #USD as a #ReserveCurrency I think you could really be onto something.

The US Dollar as a dominant #reservecurrency probably benefits me as an American in ways I do not understand. I also probably don’t understand fully how it has been unfairly weaponized. Will be interesting to see if as more countries implement #CBDC if it creates a more federated international monetary system that bypasses SWIFT. And if the ability to levy sanctions becomes more difficult.
