It’s Over: China JUST Broke The US Dollar - The Harsh Facts.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
boy there has been a lot of fear about
the US dollar losing its Reserve
currency status and there are many
reasons for this but today we're gonna
break down a Wells Fargo piece on
exactly what's to come for the US dollar
and what's left in terms of the strength
of the US dollar after all we're hearing
rumors that Russia at least at some
point in the past has been in talks with
Brazil and India and China about
creating a brics currency although that
was probably a revived rumor since
before the Ukraine Invasion so it's
probably meaningless we've talked about
China negotiating deals between Iran and
Saudi Arabia once Arch enemies we've
talked about the US's botched withdrawal
from Afghanistan leading to much fewer
uh trust and Reliance in the American
government given the power vacuum
they've left in the Middle East and also
potentially the United States is failure
to actually approach appropriately
appropriate Aid in the Middle East and
Africa for example why did Egypt just
consider sending rockets and missiles
made potentially with U.S dollars given
that we've given them over two and a
half billion dollars over the last four
years to Russia why was that even a
consideration now we've gone a a civil
war essentially in the uh North uh East
country in Africa of Sudan uh the Darfur
regions fighting again and once again
countries are calling the United States
but what's the United States doing
pretty much nothing now this isn't to
say that the United States should be the
world police but it is to say that the
less countries can rely on the United
States the more they start doing things
like trading natural gas in Chinese Yuan
instead of dollars and that's exactly
what Saudi Arabia just did they started
settling some natural gas contracts in
Yuan Renminbi in China instead of the US
dollar and it's leading a lot of folks
to wonder at the same time as the US
dollar is falling oh crap what if the
dollar loses its status as the world's
Reserve currency well what's first worth
understanding is why the dollar is
falling the dollar first of all it has
fallen when we look at a six-month chart
pretty pretty nicely here okay we're
down from about 112 on the Dixie down to
about 101. go out about a year and uh
you could see this peak of the dollar
somewhere around October where we were
somewhere around 112 and so we've been
on this disinflation path if you will uh
for the dollar now why potentially is
the dollar falling at the same time as
all of these International concerns are
propping up we'll explain exactly why
the dollar is falling but first I want
to look at is the dollar going to go
away as other countries start talking
about getting rid of the dollar and the
reality is well outlined by Wells Fargo
and if we understand Wells Fargo and
then we explain why the dollar is
falling all of a sudden there's a real
chance your fears around the US dollar
imploding and going away will also
implode and go away that is your fears
will go away so let's talk about what
the Wells Fargo has to say about the US
dollar status as its Reserve as a
reserve currency of the world I do also
have to mention that tomorrow is 4 20
and we are going to get rid of the
lowest options to join the programs on
building your wealth we're probably
going to get rid of the lifetime access
into single courses after 420 so we've
got a flash sale going on right now if
you like my perspectives consider using
that 420 coupon code link down below
today tomorrow flash sale on that and
then the net prices to get in will be
going up you get course member live
streams on building your wealth and
perspectives from going to zero to
millionaire in real estate stocks or
otherwise so what do we have over here
Wells Fargo in recent weeks the US
dollar status as the world's Global
Reserve currency has come under intense
scrutiny with some analysts predicting
the demise of the greenback's Reign such
speculation has occurred in the context
of China and Brazil announcing clearing
Arrangements and other information that
we've just uh sorry I almost had a
sneeze there because all this fear
is there we go okay so how does
Wells Fargo counter some of this let's
look at these charts first of all Wells
Fargo suggests here's foreign exchange
turnover by currency and you could see
that us uh dollars make up
88.4 of all of the US or all of the
international turnovers that occurred
now keep in mind this is out of
200 percent because there are two sides
to each uh uh equation right so you have
to think about it as uh when you add all
this up you're going to get 200 because
you have two sides but the point is
you've got almost 50 essentially when
you look at it that way of All Foreign
Exchange turnover conducted in U.S
dollars part of the reason for that is
US Dollars don't have convertibility
issues you don't have government risk
and even though it's Fiat it's the most
trusted Fiat that exists I know a lot of
people especially those in the crypto
Community don't like Fiat and they'd
love to see the dollar die and a lot of
people are suggesting what Bitcoins
going up because of the weakness of the
US dollar for the weakness of the US
dollar we could have seen coming from a
mile away this reason I had started to
short the dollar and again I'll explain
that reason in just a moment but what do
we see when we look at these charts FX
turnover by currency the US dollar
Reigns substantially Supreme the second
closest currency by for Global Payments
is the Euro not the uh British pound the
Japanese Yen the Chinese Yuan these
don't even hold a candle to foreign
transactions that's just one of the
facts beyond that what do we have here
Reserve managers continue to choose the
dollar the US dollar still represents
the majority of global Reserve assets
that is when people or countries want to
maintain a currency or bonds they prefer
the dollar
now why would they prefer the dollar
well one of the reasons they prefer the
dollar in fact we've got a breakdown
right here one of the reasons they
prefer the dollar over the Japanese yen
is because Japan is distorting their
bond market thanks to yield curve
controls and they're freaking out
markets so that's an unstable Bond
Europe is concerned about fragmentation
between the value of bonds between uh
basically France Germany Italy Spain
which is basically saying you've got the
really strong economies in Europe
potentially fragmenting the yields on
their bonds versus the poor countries in
Europe like Italy and Spain versus
France and Germany
then in China you've got too many
capital controls creating disincentives
for Reserve managers to actually
allocate to Chinese bonds now even
though the Chinese yuan is paid to the
US dollar it's still not desirable
because now if you use the Chinese Yuan
you're having to deal with the Chinese
government instead of the US government
and look I'm not here to show the US
government just saying it's the least
bad out of all of the other options and
so there's no surprise when we look at
the US dollar it is super supreme in the
International Community but beyond that
you have to understand people keep
talking about the Petro dollar going
away the Petro dollar is basically oil
traded in uh in dollars the Petro dollar
market sits at around four trillion
dollars that's pretty big right but
there's some the the foreign use of
American dollars sits closer to 12
trillion dollars in total so outside
just oil dollars so really even just the
Petro dollar alone if a hundred percent
of it went away it just represents a
third of international use of dollars or
Holdings of US dollars
and what's wild about this though is it
probably in my opinion going to take 30
years for the US dollar to no longer be
used in oil settlements and guess what
we probably won't be trading in 30 years
oil or at least not as much as as we do
today is hopefully our world wakes up to
the beauty of nuclear clean energy uh
over you know some of the solar and wind
although solar and wind is probably
strong enough to help I'd much prefer it
heavily relies on Battery Technology I'd
heavily prefer investing more in nuclear
power but that's going to take a while
it's been a little unpopular thanks to
Fukushima but that's really a topic for
a different video so if the dollar is so
strong then why is the dollar falling
Kevin I mean we just explained why the
dollar is so fantastic and so wonderful
then why is the dollar falling in value
it's very simple there's one very simple
explanation for why the dollar is
falling it's super easy and it all has
to do with
inflation expectations as inflation
expectations go down and the United
States doesn't suffer from Runaway
inflation what ends up happening well
you end up seeing yields on treasuries
fall when you see yields on treasuries
Fall as they have been over the last uh
six months what you end up getting is
less demand for U.S dollars because
think about it the 10-year treasury in
October November was trading for
somewhere as high as 4.25 percent look
at this six month chart right here on
CNBC this is a six-month chart of
10-year treasuries the downtrend is
super clear and the downtrend actually
corresponds directly to the downtrend in
the US dollar
so you look at the peak of the US dollar
right there in October right over here
right peak of the US dollar holy moly
you got a peek over here let's just go
to year one year on both of them go to
one year on both of them and what do you
see Peak treasury yields right here
basically aligning with Peak dala
everybody wants the dollar when the
10-year treasury is offering you 4.2
percent
but as inflation concerns have started
to become transitory transitory is
obviously a very offensive word uh you
know the Federal Reserve made plenty of
mistakes still printing money while
inflation was too high there's no
defending the Federal Reserve on that
but inflation will very likely end up
proving to be transitory over a span of
two three years which is a lot longer
than the Federal Reserve expected but
the point is as inflation continues to
prove that we're actually trending
towards disinflation maybe even
deflation
well then treasure yields fall now
treasury yields did go into a little bit
more of a hole here because of the
banking crisis but the trend is clearly
down from 4.2 to 4.6 percent uh just
like the trend is down on the U.S dollar
so now what's really easy to do though
and this is where you have to understand
politics ready for this this is this is
my favorite thing to mention
let's get serious about this one my
favorite thing to mention
is that
you have a democratically controlled
White House
and what do Republicans hate
a democratically controlled White House
Republicans also dislike the United
States's performance in many different
regards to the presidency specifically
in regards to the Middle East
and so what is a beautiful thing that
you can do if you're a Republican or
your Fox News
you could basically say oh my God the
dollar is plummeting the dollars lost 15
percent of its value from Peak at the
same time China's starting to negotiate
natural gas currency transactions or
natural gas transactions in Renminbi
instead of US Dollars that's it we're
losing our clout it's all because of Joe
Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan and
our weakness in the Middle East
and yeah don't get me wrong I personally
think the Middle East is a show and
we've made some really big mistakes in
the Middle East and some big mistakes
with our foreign policy I'm not arguing
that at all I'm simply saying it's
awfully convenient that as inflation is
going down the dollar is falling and
it's easy to ignore the inflation side
of the equation and just say dollar
falling Biden sucks hell yeah let's pop
a beer but not a Bud Light
so anyway look this whole dollar D
dollarization stuff is a bunch of
hogwash if I could short the idea that
the dollar is going to lose its Global
Reserve currency I'd probably put a
million bucks on it because it's
complete nonsense it's not happening
anytime soon even if the petrol dollar
went away it doesn't matter and the rest
of it is just politics that's what it is
and that's what you should be
considering it as so when it comes to
Dollar dollarization don't worry about
it check out the courses instead
