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 Rally Hits Crucial Juncture: $2,075 Level in Sight for a Major Breakout READ MORE Greenspan Warns of Double-Dip Recession if Home Prices Fall Further READ MORE Fed's Barr: Disappointing Inflation Data Delays Rate Cuts READ MORE Recession Mentions in Earnings Calls Fall as Economic Outlook Improves READ MORE Silver Institute: World Silver Survey 2024 READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
