Why a strong dollar isn't as good as you think

  • The U.S. dollar is the world’s dominant currency and plays a key role in global trade.
    While that may seem like good news to Americans, it’s bad news for much of the world.
    “So here’s the paradox. The rest of the world despises how dominant the dollar is, yet they go to the U.S. dollar, because there really isn’t much of an alternative,” said Eswar Prasad, an economist at the Brookings Institution and professor at Cornell University.
    Despite constant predictions of the dollar’s demise, nearly 60% of the world’s central banks’ foreign exchange reserves - the money the hold to cover unexpected financial emergencies - are invested in dollar-denominated assets.
    The share of the U.S. dollar as a payment currency worldwide is more than 40%, while it makes up more than 60% of international debt and 50% of loans globally.
    Besides being the go-to currency for international financial transactions, commodities such as oil are also bought and sold in U.S. dollars.
    The dollar’s dominance in transactions extends to the U.S. banking system too, which is, in turn, influenced by America’s fiscal and monetary policies.
    “This is ultimately going to entrench the dollar’s dominance even further,” Prasad said. “That is certainly a serious problem for low-income countries that have high levels of foreign debt, especially dollar-denominated debt.”
    Watch the video above to learn about how a strong dollar contributed to economic and political crises in emerging markets such as Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Ghana and Egypt.

    My wife and I did very well in the amount of money that we amassed for retirement. Well over 80% of that money averaging about $2 million was made because of taking advantage of buying high-end stocks at a deep discount during the Great Recession. 2009 I fired the stockbroker got rid of all mutual funds and bought individual dividend stocks. Be patient don't get scared and do your homework and you can make a killing.

    Making Dollar the ultimate reserve currency is US strongest weapon in this world. 1. Its govt issuance of bonds is always going to be subscribed by many nations, thus making it easier for US to finance public spend 2. Being currency of international trade outside the EU block, effectively all financial transactions goes through US through correspondent bank, making US earn for every financial transaction just by executing the transfers and also they can hold anyone hostage since money flows through them 3. Nations would directly or indirectly want to trade with US.
    If we all, outside US, will continue accepting this West Narrative where they have most of the world's wealth and that dollar is the safest, and we need their dollar and wealth just to develop, then we will always be vulnerable to US Fed rates. We should instead learn that the true wealth of an economy is the spending activity in that economy regardless of the currency used for that spending activity. The wealth is its own people engaging in a lot of trade. We just need to trade with each other and even if US is not involved we can survive on our own

It is simply a side effect of the US’s vast economy, military power, and political stability. History tells us that the world’s reserve currency and the currency used by the most powerful economy in the world are one and the same. The dollar will be the world’s reserve currency as long as the US retains the top spot in the world economy.

    I suffered through listening to your argument for a weaker dollar. The reasons you give are to help the world who struggle with a strong dollar because their currency has been devalued. Are we supposed to live poorer for the rest of the world? A strong dollar helps keep prices down here in America. If we had a weak dollar, all of our commodities, including fuel & food, would be a bargain for the rest of the world and drive prices out of reach of many Americans.
    If you like a weaker currency, then move where the currency is weak. Let us enjoy our prosperity which comes from a strong currency. To be fair, I'm not sure how our dollar has remained so strong after all the pumping we did recently. I guess other countries printed currency more than we did.....
