Central Bank Hedging Triggered Gold Fever KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 24 (IPS) - In mid-1971, US President Nixon ended the dollar’s gold peg at $35 per ounce, triggering de-dollarisation. The 2025 gold and silver rush followed private speculators trying to profit from central banks hedging against perceived new risks.

While the US weaponized the dollar through #sanctions and #AssetFreezes to enforce geopolitical goals, it inadvertently convinced the rest of the world that holding #dollars was too risky, accelerating the very collapse of #DollarDominance it tried to prevent

Every country importing oil must hold dollars: Japan, India, South Korea. This automatic dollar demand is why America borrows cheaply. Now Iran says: "Want oil? Get yuan." It's leverage disguised as logistics. #DollarDominance

That rule forces nations to hold dollars. Oil exporters earn those dollars, then recycle them into U.S. Treasuries. Global oil trade quietly subsidizes America’s debt.

China steps up push to internationalise the yuan as global dollar dominance wavers CNBC have a very intersting piece up on moves in China to boost the use of the yuan, here is the link: * China doubles down on promoting yuan as confidence in U.S. dollar takes a beating In summary: China is ramping up efforts to internationalise the yuan, taking advantage of declining global confidence in the U.S. dollar and expanding access for foreign investors to domestic financial markets. Three major Chinese exchanges recently opened 16 additional futures and options contracts — covering commodities like rubber, lead, and tin — to qualified foreign institutional investors. The move is part of a broader push to embed the yuan more deeply into global commodity pricing and financial transactions. People’s Bank of China Governor Pan Gongsheng signalled growing policy intent, proposing steps to reduce reliance on the dollar, including plans for a digital yuan internationalisation centre in Shanghai and expanded trading in yuan FX futures. Beijing has also taken steps to attract international investors: * Foreign currencies may soon be accepted as collateral in yuan-settled trades. * ETF options trading will be opened to foreign investors. * Fee waivers have been introduced for overseas institutions accessing the bond market. * Morgan Stanley’s China unit has gained approval to expand brokerage services. The U.S. dollar remains dominant — still accounting for nearly 50% of global payments — but China is making steady gains. Yuan use in cross-border trade is rising, particularly in energy and commodities, and more Chinese banks are issuing loans in yuan to emerging markets. Despite increased momentum, challenges remain. Capital controls, limited asset liquidity, and legal opacity continue to deter many investors. Analysts also caution that China must do more to address geopolitical risks tied to its markets. Still, the yuan’s role is growing, aided by regional de-dollarisation trends and investor moves to hedge against U.S. assets. According to State Street Global, institutional flows into yuan assets have strengthened this year — though positioning remains light, leaving scope for further inflows.

Exclusive-Central banks eye gold, euro and yuan as dollar dominance wanes By Yoruk Bahceli and Dhara Ranasinghe LONDON (Reuters) -The custodians of trillions of dollars of global central bank reserves are eyeing a move away from the greenback into gold, the euro and China’s yuan as the splintering of world trade and geopolitical upheaval spark a rethink of financial flows. According to a report by the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF) due to be published later on Tuesday, one in three central banks managing a combined $5 trillion plan to increase exposure to gold over the next one-to-two years after stripping out those planning to decrease, the highest in at least five years. The survey of 75 central banks -- carried out between March and May -- gives a first snapshot of the repercussions of U.S. President Donald Trump’s April 2 Liberation Day tariffs that sparked market turmoil and a slide in the safe-haven dollar and U.S. Treasuries. Gold, which central banks have already been adding at a record pace, was seen benefiting even further longer term, with a net 40% of central banks planning to increase gold holdings over the next decade. "After years of record-high central bank gold purchases, reserve managers are doubling down on the precious metal," OMFIF said. The dollar, the most popular currency in last year’s survey, fell to seventh place this year, OMFIF said, with 70% of those surveyed saying the U.S. political environment was discouraging them from investing in the dollar -- more than twice the share a year ago. In currencies, the euro and yuan stand to benefit the most from a diversification away from the dollar. A net 16% of central banks surveyed by OMFIF said they plan to increase euro holdings over the next 12 to 24 months, making it the most in-demand currency, up from 7% a year ago, followed by the yuan. But over the next decade, the yuan is more favoured, with a net 30% of central banks expecting to increase holdings and its share of global reserves seen tripling to 6%. Separately, three sources who deal directly with reserve managers, told Reuters they saw the euro as now having the potential to recapture the share of currency reserves lost following the 2011 euro debt crisis by the end of this decade. They cited more positive sentiment among reserve managers towards the euro following Liberation Day. That would mean a recovery to a roughly 25% share of currency reserves, from around 20% currently, representing a key moment in the bloc’s recovery from the debt crisis that threatened the euro’s existence. Max Castelli, head of global sovereign markets strategy and advice at UBS Asset Management, told Reuters that reserve managers made many calls after Liberation Day to ask if the dollar’s safe-haven status was at risk. "As far as I remember, this question has never been asked before, not even after the great financial crisis in 2008." The average expectation for the dollar’s share of global FX reserves in 2035 was 52%, the OMFIF survey showed, remaining the No.1 reserve currency but seen down from the current 58%. EURO’S MOMENT? OMFIF survey respondents expected the euro to reach about a 22% share of global reserves in 10 years’ time. "The euro’s share of global reserves will almost surely rise over the next few years, not so much because Europe is viewed so much more favorably, but because the dollar’s status is diminished," said Kenneth Rogoff, Harvard professor and former IMF chief economist, told Reuters by e-mail ahead of OMFIF’s publication. But Europe could attract a higher share of reserves sooner if the bloc is able to boost its pile of bonds that are currently dwarfed by the $29 trillion U.S. Treasury market, while integrating its capital markets, the sources that speak directly to reserve managers, told Reuters. ECB President Christine Lagarde has also urged action to bolster the euro as a viable dollar alternative. The euro is the "only real alternative currency for the moment to make a significant change in the level of reserves," said Bernard Altschuler, global head of central bank coverage at HSBC, adding he saw it as "realistic" for the euro to reach a 25% share of global reserves in 2-3 years if those issues are addressed. The European Union is the world’s largest trading bloc. Its economy is far bigger than the dollar’s other rivals. Capital controls limit the appeal of the yuan. Momentum for change has gathered pace, with Europe signalling willingness to curb its dependence on the U.S. by boosting defence spending, including through more joint EU borrowing. Germany is ramping up spending, while the EU is trying to revive efforts to integrate its capital markets. Public pension and sovereign wealth funds, also surveyed by OMFIF, saw Germany as the most attractive developed market. UBS Asset Management’s Castelli said he was receiving many more questions about the euro, estimating the euro could recover to a 25% share of reserves by the end of the 2020s. At the most bullish end, Francesco Papadia, who managed the ECB’s market operations during the debt crisis, estimated the euro could recover to 25% in as soon as two years. Zhou Xiaochuan, China’s central bank chief from 2002 to 2018, agreed the euro’s role as a reserve currency could grow. However, there’s "homework to do," he told Reuters on the sidelines of a recent conference.

Speech: Geopolitics and its Impact on Global Trade and the Dollar After years of shocks—including the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—countries are reevaluating their trading partners based on economic and national security concerns. Foreign direct investment flows are also being re-directed along geopolitical lines. Some countries are reevaluating their heavy reliance on the dollar in their international transactions and reserve holdings.
