0:00

boy there has been a lot of fear about

0:03

the US dollar losing its Reserve

0:05

currency status and there are many

0:07

reasons for this but today we're gonna

0:10

break down a Wells Fargo piece on

0:13

exactly what's to come for the US dollar

0:16

and what's left in terms of the strength

0:19

of the US dollar after all we're hearing

0:22

rumors that Russia at least at some

0:25

point in the past has been in talks with

0:27

Brazil and India and China about

0:29

creating a brics currency although that

0:32

was probably a revived rumor since

0:33

before the Ukraine Invasion so it's

0:35

probably meaningless we've talked about

0:37

China negotiating deals between Iran and

0:41

Saudi Arabia once Arch enemies we've

0:44

talked about the US's botched withdrawal

0:46

from Afghanistan leading to much fewer

0:48

uh trust and Reliance in the American

0:51

government given the power vacuum

0:53

they've left in the Middle East and also

0:56

potentially the United States is failure

0:58

to actually approach appropriately

1:00

appropriate Aid in the Middle East and

1:03

Africa for example why did Egypt just

1:07

consider sending rockets and missiles

1:10

made potentially with U.S dollars given

1:12

that we've given them over two and a

1:13

half billion dollars over the last four

1:15

years to Russia why was that even a

1:17

consideration now we've gone a a civil

1:21

war essentially in the uh North uh East

1:24

country in Africa of Sudan uh the Darfur

1:29

regions fighting again and once again

1:31

countries are calling the United States

1:33

but what's the United States doing

1:35

pretty much nothing now this isn't to

1:38

say that the United States should be the

1:39

world police but it is to say that the

1:41

less countries can rely on the United

1:42

States the more they start doing things

1:44

like trading natural gas in Chinese Yuan

1:47

instead of dollars and that's exactly

1:49

what Saudi Arabia just did they started

1:51

settling some natural gas contracts in

1:54

Yuan Renminbi in China instead of the US

1:58

dollar and it's leading a lot of folks

2:00

to wonder at the same time as the US

2:02

dollar is falling oh crap what if the

2:07

dollar loses its status as the world's

2:10

Reserve currency well what's first worth

2:13

understanding is why the dollar is

2:16

falling the dollar first of all it has

2:19

fallen when we look at a six-month chart

2:21

pretty pretty nicely here okay we're

2:24

down from about 112 on the Dixie down to

2:27

about 101. go out about a year and uh

2:31

you could see this peak of the dollar

2:33

somewhere around October where we were

2:35

somewhere around 112 and so we've been

2:37

on this disinflation path if you will uh

2:40

for the dollar now why potentially is

2:43

the dollar falling at the same time as

2:46

all of these International concerns are

2:48

propping up we'll explain exactly why

2:51

the dollar is falling but first I want

2:52

to look at is the dollar going to go

2:54

away as other countries start talking

2:57

about getting rid of the dollar and the

2:59

reality is well outlined by Wells Fargo

3:02

and if we understand Wells Fargo and

3:05

then we explain why the dollar is

3:06

falling all of a sudden there's a real

3:09

chance your fears around the US dollar

3:11

imploding and going away will also

3:15

implode and go away that is your fears

3:17

will go away so let's talk about what

3:19

the Wells Fargo has to say about the US

3:22

dollar status as its Reserve as a

3:25

reserve currency of the world I do also

3:29

have to mention that tomorrow is 4 20

3:31

and we are going to get rid of the

3:34

lowest options to join the programs on

3:36

building your wealth we're probably

3:38

going to get rid of the lifetime access

3:39

into single courses after 420 so we've

3:42

got a flash sale going on right now if

3:44

you like my perspectives consider using

3:46

that 420 coupon code link down below

3:48

today tomorrow flash sale on that and

3:51

then the net prices to get in will be

3:53

going up you get course member live

3:54

streams on building your wealth and

3:56

perspectives from going to zero to

3:57

millionaire in real estate stocks or

3:59

otherwise so what do we have over here

4:01

Wells Fargo in recent weeks the US

4:03

dollar status as the world's Global

4:05

Reserve currency has come under intense

4:07

scrutiny with some analysts predicting

4:09

the demise of the greenback's Reign such

4:12

speculation has occurred in the context

4:14

of China and Brazil announcing clearing

4:16

Arrangements and other information that

4:19

we've just uh sorry I almost had a

4:21

sneeze there because all this fear

4:24

is there we go okay so how does

4:29

Wells Fargo counter some of this let's

4:31

look at these charts first of all Wells

4:33

Fargo suggests here's foreign exchange

4:36

turnover by currency and you could see

4:39

that us uh dollars make up

4:43

88.4 of all of the US or all of the

4:47

international turnovers that occurred

4:49

now keep in mind this is out of

4:52

200 percent because there are two sides

4:55

to each uh uh equation right so you have

4:58

to think about it as uh when you add all

5:01

this up you're going to get 200 because

5:03

you have two sides but the point is

5:05

you've got almost 50 essentially when

5:07

you look at it that way of All Foreign

5:09

Exchange turnover conducted in U.S

5:12

dollars part of the reason for that is

5:15

US Dollars don't have convertibility

5:18

issues you don't have government risk

5:19

and even though it's Fiat it's the most

5:21

trusted Fiat that exists I know a lot of

5:24

people especially those in the crypto

5:25

Community don't like Fiat and they'd

5:27

love to see the dollar die and a lot of

5:29

people are suggesting what Bitcoins

5:31

going up because of the weakness of the

5:32

US dollar for the weakness of the US

5:34

dollar we could have seen coming from a

5:36

mile away this reason I had started to

5:38

short the dollar and again I'll explain

5:40

that reason in just a moment but what do

5:42

we see when we look at these charts FX

5:45

turnover by currency the US dollar

5:47

Reigns substantially Supreme the second

5:51

closest currency by for Global Payments

5:54

is the Euro not the uh British pound the

6:00

Japanese Yen the Chinese Yuan these

6:03

don't even hold a candle to foreign

6:05

transactions that's just one of the

6:07

facts beyond that what do we have here

6:10

Reserve managers continue to choose the

6:13

dollar the US dollar still represents

6:16

the majority of global Reserve assets

6:18

that is when people or countries want to

6:20

maintain a currency or bonds they prefer

6:23

the dollar

6:24

now why would they prefer the dollar

6:26

well one of the reasons they prefer the

6:28

dollar in fact we've got a breakdown

6:29

right here one of the reasons they

6:31

prefer the dollar over the Japanese yen

6:33

is because Japan is distorting their

6:36

bond market thanks to yield curve

6:37

controls and they're freaking out

6:39

markets so that's an unstable Bond

6:42

Europe is concerned about fragmentation

6:44

between the value of bonds between uh

6:47

basically France Germany Italy Spain

6:49

which is basically saying you've got the

6:51

really strong economies in Europe

6:54

potentially fragmenting the yields on

6:57

their bonds versus the poor countries in

6:59

Europe like Italy and Spain versus

7:01

France and Germany

7:03

then in China you've got too many

7:06

capital controls creating disincentives

7:08

for Reserve managers to actually

7:10

allocate to Chinese bonds now even

7:12

though the Chinese yuan is paid to the

7:14

US dollar it's still not desirable

7:17

because now if you use the Chinese Yuan

7:19

you're having to deal with the Chinese

7:21

government instead of the US government

7:23

and look I'm not here to show the US

7:25

government just saying it's the least

7:27

bad out of all of the other options and

7:31

so there's no surprise when we look at

7:33

the US dollar it is super supreme in the

7:36

International Community but beyond that

7:37

you have to understand people keep

7:39

talking about the Petro dollar going

7:41

away the Petro dollar is basically oil

7:43

traded in uh in dollars the Petro dollar

7:46

market sits at around four trillion

7:49

dollars that's pretty big right but

7:53

there's some the the foreign use of

7:55

American dollars sits closer to 12

7:57

trillion dollars in total so outside

8:00

just oil dollars so really even just the

8:04

Petro dollar alone if a hundred percent

8:06

of it went away it just represents a

8:08

third of international use of dollars or

8:11

Holdings of US dollars

8:13

and what's wild about this though is it

8:16

probably in my opinion going to take 30

8:18

years for the US dollar to no longer be

8:21

used in oil settlements and guess what

8:23

we probably won't be trading in 30 years

8:25

oil or at least not as much as as we do

8:29

today is hopefully our world wakes up to

8:32

the beauty of nuclear clean energy uh

8:35

over you know some of the solar and wind

8:37

although solar and wind is probably

8:39

strong enough to help I'd much prefer it

8:41

heavily relies on Battery Technology I'd

8:43

heavily prefer investing more in nuclear

8:45

power but that's going to take a while

8:47

it's been a little unpopular thanks to

8:49

Fukushima but that's really a topic for

8:50

a different video so if the dollar is so

8:53

strong then why is the dollar falling

8:56

Kevin I mean we just explained why the

8:59

dollar is so fantastic and so wonderful

9:01

then why is the dollar falling in value

9:03

it's very simple there's one very simple

9:07

explanation for why the dollar is

9:10

falling it's super easy and it all has

9:13

to do with

9:14

inflation expectations as inflation

9:17

expectations go down and the United

9:19

States doesn't suffer from Runaway

9:21

inflation what ends up happening well

9:24

you end up seeing yields on treasuries

9:26

fall when you see yields on treasuries

9:29

Fall as they have been over the last uh

9:33

six months what you end up getting is

9:35

less demand for U.S dollars because

9:39

think about it the 10-year treasury in

9:42

October November was trading for

9:44

somewhere as high as 4.25 percent look

9:48

at this six month chart right here on

9:51

CNBC this is a six-month chart of

9:53

10-year treasuries the downtrend is

9:56

super clear and the downtrend actually

9:58

corresponds directly to the downtrend in

10:00

the US dollar

10:02

so you look at the peak of the US dollar

10:04

right there in October right over here

10:06

right peak of the US dollar holy moly

10:10

you got a peek over here let's just go

10:11

to year one year on both of them go to

10:13

one year on both of them and what do you

10:15

see Peak treasury yields right here

10:17

basically aligning with Peak dala

10:21

everybody wants the dollar when the

10:23

10-year treasury is offering you 4.2

10:26

percent

10:27

but as inflation concerns have started

10:30

to become transitory transitory is

10:32

obviously a very offensive word uh you

10:34

know the Federal Reserve made plenty of

10:36

mistakes still printing money while

10:37

inflation was too high there's no

10:39

defending the Federal Reserve on that

10:40

but inflation will very likely end up

10:42

proving to be transitory over a span of

10:44

two three years which is a lot longer

10:46

than the Federal Reserve expected but

10:48

the point is as inflation continues to

10:51

prove that we're actually trending

10:52

towards disinflation maybe even

10:54

deflation

10:56

well then treasure yields fall now

10:59

treasury yields did go into a little bit

11:00

more of a hole here because of the

11:02

banking crisis but the trend is clearly

11:04

down from 4.2 to 4.6 percent uh just

11:07

like the trend is down on the U.S dollar

11:10

so now what's really easy to do though

11:14

and this is where you have to understand

11:15

politics ready for this this is this is

11:17

my favorite thing to mention

11:22

let's get serious about this one my

11:24

favorite thing to mention

11:26

is that

11:27

you have a democratically controlled

11:31

White House

11:32

and what do Republicans hate

11:35

a democratically controlled White House

11:39

Republicans also dislike the United

11:42

States's performance in many different

11:44

regards to the presidency specifically

11:47

in regards to the Middle East

11:49

and so what is a beautiful thing that

11:52

you can do if you're a Republican or

11:54

your Fox News

11:55

you could basically say oh my God the

11:59

dollar is plummeting the dollars lost 15

12:02

percent of its value from Peak at the

12:05

same time China's starting to negotiate

12:07

natural gas currency transactions or

12:10

natural gas transactions in Renminbi

12:14

instead of US Dollars that's it we're

12:16

losing our clout it's all because of Joe

12:19

Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan and

12:21

our weakness in the Middle East

12:23

and yeah don't get me wrong I personally

12:25

think the Middle East is a show and

12:28

we've made some really big mistakes in

12:30

the Middle East and some big mistakes

12:32

with our foreign policy I'm not arguing

12:34

that at all I'm simply saying it's

12:36

awfully convenient that as inflation is

12:39

going down the dollar is falling and

12:42

it's easy to ignore the inflation side

12:44

of the equation and just say dollar

12:46

falling Biden sucks hell yeah let's pop

12:49

a beer but not a Bud Light

12:52

so anyway look this whole dollar D

12:56

dollarization stuff is a bunch of

12:59

hogwash if I could short the idea that

13:03

the dollar is going to lose its Global

13:05

Reserve currency I'd probably put a

13:07

million bucks on it because it's

13:09

complete nonsense it's not happening

13:11

anytime soon even if the petrol dollar

13:13

went away it doesn't matter and the rest

13:15

of it is just politics that's what it is

13:18

and that's what you should be

13:19

considering it as so when it comes to

13:21

Dollar dollarization don't worry about

13:24

it check out the courses instead
