💵 Dollar Dominance Is the Key to US Debt and Deficits
Bloomberg reports that the greenback has seen off plenty of challengers — for good reason. Trump would do well to recognize its huge strategic value.
📊The
eclipse of the dollar, and with it the ability of the
US to
borrow on a scale that would cripple any other country, has been long
predicted. For at least half a
century, skeptics have counted on
something — or
someone — coming along to
knock American assets
from their perch.
Don't plan for a
requiem just yet.
📊So the
greenback isn't coming
undone anytime soon. Its
dominance goes beyond an official desire for a strong dollar, a weak one or something in between. The currency's pivotal
role is tightly woven into the
fabric of the
modern economy. It accounts for the
majority of global reserves and is one side of about
90% of foreign-exchange trading.
🇺🇸Right now,
no other currency offers such a
deep and
safe pool of liquid assets.
China, often cited as the country most likely to challenge
US preeminence,
distrusts markets. The
yuan is subject to all kinds of
meddling, from daily parameters on trading set by the central bank to curbs on what investors can take in and out of the country, and how easily. This isn't to say a credible greenback
rival won't materialize, but perhaps, the
only place that can
dethrone the dollar is the
US itself and
everyone will have a lot to lose.
