Fed's Rate Hikes Propel Global Shift Away from U.S. Dollar, Says Atlantic Council The Atlantic Council has identified the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes as a key driver behind the growing trend of de-dollarization globally. The Fed’s rate increases, coinciding with the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have made dollar borrowing costlier and less accessible. This change has encouraged emerging market firms to explore alternatives like the Chinese Yuan (RMB). The think tank also acknowledges the geopolitical elements in play, particularly the Western sanctions against Russia, which have frozen Moscow’s currency reserves and restricted its access to the global financial system, further accelerating the move away from the U.S. dollar. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold Crosses $2,500 Threshold in Volatile Market READ MORE China's Gold Market: ETF Inflows Surge Despite Weak Wholesale Demand in June READ MORE Satellite Imagery Reveals Possible Oil Spill from Houthi-Attacked Tanker in Red Sea READ MORE U.S. Banks Face Dual Challenges: Weakening Loan Quality and Declining Interest Payments READ MORE Affluent Americans Turn to High-End Bunkers as Political Fears Escalate READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
