Why is the US dollar so strong? | Counting the Cost

[@hiphopisdead]

It's not rocket science.. when economies slow down countries tend to buy US treasuries which are guaranteed interest paid with fixed interests rates. Demand will continue to rise to hedge bad policies and investments.

[@chillxxx241]

Europe also has a war on its continent. Surprised US markets and dollar aren’t even more overheated.

[@bl5608]

US dollar will always be world currency. No currency is going to replace the dollar. However, countries are finding alternative payment option. Regardless how china currency grows, it will never replace dollar, but it will be an option. No country wants to pick side between China or US. No one wants to have beef. US banned Russia from using the dollar, china yuan is more like an insurance policy. Just in case. Small countries will not have a chance of economic development if gets banned from using dollar. Their economy will completely stop.

[@chillxxx241]

@ Argentina is slowly pivoting to the dollar. I’m not sure we understand how adding the 24th largest economy will impact the dollar on global markets. It would remove several billion out off circulation.

[@HarryYouKnowWho]

China trades more with Asia, UK trades more with EU and let America do whatever she likes. We have had enough of the American making threats to world business order every four years.

[@Anon-e1t]

Wow. So strong compared to what other currency bro? Its not the strongest currency in the world, you do know that there are other much more expensive currencies right? The dinar is one of them. Pounds and euros are more expensive. And 1 USD is only about 1.30 CAD. 😅

The dollar was important in the past as the US was a world military power and the USSR isolated itself behind the iron curtain. US provided security on the ground, in the air and in international waters, all paid for by Saudi Arabia and Chinese partnerships. Today we see Saudi and China teaming with India, Sth Africa, Russia and Brazil - all countries with large reserves of money. The US and Europe are in debt. So who should determine the future of world finance?

[@stelaqendrimgashi9251]

[@siddharthgoyal4008]

Most Saudi, Chinese reserves are in US treasury bonds, they do not even trust each other for keeping money. Russia, India, Brazil do not have "large reserves", South Africa is one big deficit away from bankruptcy.

[@AWalkOnDirt]

Well because it’s a stable democracy with a lot of citizens who are unrestricted and empowered. This makes for a powerhouse and citizens of other countries, especially in theocracies, should take note. Basically giving your neighbor freedom is good for you. This is why immigrates should be welcomed and not demonized.

[@deragoth4250]

@@JoelVilleneuveAnaudin-yx5wv not sure how I can explain further that what I said above. Okay a dollar that is is more competitive against euro means an American product is cheaper for European and they will buy more American stuff. So yeah in a sense it is “weaker” when it is being exchanged but at least European are still using the dollar. But say if the BRICS create a new international currency, then it bypasses the USD completely and make the dollar weaker in a different manner, less relevant to international finance

Comment if you have larger economy than the US

[@HellBot-gi5si]

@@hueman1189 Look, here the reality of it. Russia is mad at America so they having a lot of propaganda but the reality is that the BRICS countries are really bad shape. 1. Brazil 50% of Brazil's economy is run by 7 families. It is one the most corrupt countries on earth and was one last countries in world to outlaw slavery. Their soil is also one of the worse in world which requires terraforming for twenty years before you can grow anything. 2. Russia people are dying they industrialize to fast this why the Soviet Union collapsed. Vladimir Putin was so corrupt that instead of fixing the problem he stole all the money now Russia is collapsing their population will be cut in half in the next twenty years. Worse they did not restore their educational system now the Russians are starting to de-industrializing. 3. India out all the BRICS countries is only one that doing fairly well. However, India's main problem is that it constitution doesn't allow the Prime Minister to make national policy when it comes to trade. Which means it's very hard for India save "Capital". So "Capital" and "Manufacturing" is very expensive in India because they have to do everything themselves and they cannot make "free trade agreements" that would allow them to save some "Capital". Currently, India relations with most countries around it is very hostile. So India will not become a major Industrial power. 4. China now the country of China industrialized too fast like the Russians and Germany plus Mao created the one child policy in China. This has created a massive problem there too much men and no women. The countries economy is no collapsing because the population is decline so rapidly Xi Jinping of China is doing everything he can to try and keep the China from falling apart. Now people are going crazy killing each other. One person just drove his car into group of 100 people. Then to make worse someone did the same thing a few days later. Factories are being destroyed and burning every where. By 2040 the population of of China will be cut in half. 5. South Africa, now this countries man problem is that when it made the deal with the African tribes the white minority government agree not to charge rent to many of the African tribes. However, the electrical power planets that where built in the 1980's are not failing there is no money to reinvest in upgrading and maintaining the power plants so now South Africa is having major rolling black outs. In addition, South Africa is still a very lawless country home invasions and robbery is very common in South Africa and so it not a safe country to invest in.

[@Vikingpoints]

Brics=not a currency and will not change anything. Russia had to beg people coming from outside to bring dollars to conventions. Dollar use is going up, not down

[@guardianoffire8814]

United Kingdom should stick with Europe. Donald Trump is unpredictable and any promises of trade are not guaranteed. Its best that UK does not end up in the same boat as Canada that so far failed to find alternative trading partners.

[@HellBot-gi5si]

You can't. Europe is collapsing which means you have no markets to sell into. The only health market is America with an 11 trillion dollar consumer market that it. Russia and China have no "Consumers" they people are too poor. So you need to move now Brit, and get behind the Tariff wall. So stop "dilly dallying" and sign a trade with America as soon you can otherwise you going to into economic "Great Depression."

You can’t do that. In todays economy (Globalization) you either produce and export with cheaper currency for countries with higher buying power and stronger stronger currency. The 50’s didn’t have globalization and a world trade market as of today’s character. I laugh when I see something funny, and Trumps tariffs are laughable because it reminds me of the ending days of Great Britain’s empire, when they started imposing tariffs and later we all know happened next
