It also highlights the strategies implemented by countries like South Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, and Madagascar to boost their gold reserves. Additionally, it mentions the proposals by Ghana and Zimbabwe to back their national currencies with gold. The information emphasizes that this trend is driven by rising inflation, escalating debt levels, and geopolitical tensions, and is part of a broader de-dollarization movement. It also includes the concerns of African leaders and central bankers regarding the weaponization of the dollar and other risks associated with the greenback, such as profligate spending and growing national debt.

updates: The U.S. dollar is expected to be the only winner in a potential all-out trade war between the West and China. The U.S. economy has layers of protection that other countries lack, including a relatively closed economy, the global importance of U.S. equity and bond markets, and the ubiquity of the dollar in international reserves. While the U.S. would still suffer from slower growth and possibly higher inflation, other currencies, including the euro, would be more vulnerable. Trade tensions between China and Europe would hit the euro hard, and a more belligerent stance on trade from the U.S. would likely push the euro back down towards parity with the dollar.

updates: The U.S. dollar is expected to be the only winner in a potential all-out trade war between the West and China. Uncertainty around global trade policy is currently high, and further tariffs on imports from China and likely retaliation seem inevitable. The U.S. economy, being the world's economic and currency superpower, has layers of protection that other countries lack, including a relatively closed economy, the global importance of U.S. equity and bond markets, and the ubiquity of the dollar in international reserves. While the U.S. would still suffer from slower growth and possibly higher inflation, other currencies, including the euro, would be more vulnerable. Goldman Sachs economists estimate that a rise in trade policy uncertainty to 2018-2019 levels would likely lower U.S. GDP growth by three-tenths of a percentage point, while the estimated hit to euro zone growth would be three times greater. The U.S. trade deficit has been shrinking and is not expected to be a drag on the dollar, and any tit-for-tat tariff escalation could further reduce U.S. imports. Trade tensions between China and Europe would hit the euro hard, and a more belligerent stance on trade from the U.S. would likely push the euro back down towards parity with the dollar.

It attributes the decline to restrictive fiscal policy, including the surge in the US fiscal deficit and depletion of surplus savings. The article also mentions the risks of holding assets or raising finance in dollars due to direct and secondary sanctions implemented by the US administration. The chairman of KTrade Securities predicts that the Federal Reserve will ease its stance on monetary policy in the next couple of years and that emerging economies will benefit from the depreciation of the dollar.

updates: The article from the South China Morning Post discusses the impact of a strong US dollar on Asian markets, particularly in Japan. It also mentions the potential effects of a Trump presidency on the US dollar. The article highlights the challenges faced by Asian currencies in carry trades and the amplification of inflationary pressures due to weak exchange rates. The article notes that while some parts of Asia's economies benefit from the rally in the US dollar, a supercharged US dollar is a concern for Asian policymakers. The article also mentions the efforts of advisers to former President Trump to weaken the US dollar. The article concludes by stating that the strong US dollar will remain a source of concern for Asian policymakers. The situation in Ghana is also discussed, with the cedi being heavily impacted by the robust US dollar and corporate buying. Asset management companies like Databank are taking measures to improve liquidity and stabilize the cedi, but challenges remain due to the negative FX supply outlook and heightened corporate demand.

Version 0.26 (2024-05-09 08:54:46.518000)

updates: The cedi's depreciation and losses against major currencies reflect the challenges faced by emerging markets in the face of a robust US dollar. The efforts of asset management companies like Databank to improve liquidity and stabilize the cedi demonstrate the measures taken to address the FX demand-supply disparity. The relative stability of the cedi and the anticipation of improved liquidity conditions after the IMF program approval provide some hope for Ghana's currency. However, the negative FX supply outlook and the heightened corporate demand pose ongoing challenges.

Short bets on the Chinese yuan have also increased, despite efforts by the central bank to prevent depreciation. Analysts at HSBC expect the USD-Asia pairs to eventually moderate later in the year if the Fed begins its policy easing cycle and geopolitical risks remain manageable.

The article concludes with JPMorgan's investment strategy, which remains focused on sectors poised to benefit from global and U.S. growth, as well as the global manufacturing sector.
