The US dollar's demise has been exaggerated, report finds

Published On Sep 5, 2024, 2:00 AM

A new report from JPMorgan states that the U.S. dollar's dominance in global finance is likely to continue, contradicting fears of its impending decline due to the rise of alternatives like the Chinese yuan. Despite diversification away from the dollar by some countries, JPMorgan emphasizes that the dollar remains well-entrenched, underscored by stable confidence from the private sector and the deep, liquid capital markets backing it. The report suggests that significant erosion of the dollar's dominant status would likely take decades, notwithstanding the ongoing shifts in reserve allocations and emerging currencies.
