  • Since being shut out of much of the global financial system, Russia has sought alternatives to soften the effects of Western sanctions.
    It has turned to China for an economic lifeline and has been increasingly embracing the yuan.
    Trade between the two countries hit a record of $190bn last year, with much of those payments made in Chinese and Russian currencies.
    The two biggest geopolitical rivals of the United States want to counterbalance the dominance of the dollar worldwide.
    Elsewhere, Ukraine has won the IMF's first loan to a country at war.

    Recession is most likely the result of an external factor. For the first time in decades, the United States is losing its clout as a federal reserve currency. They don't have any more economies to use to control inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than in the past. They all lend support to the idea that a new multilateral world order is in the works.

      Keep this in the back of your mind. There are good days and bad days. It's a zero-sum game, but keep this advice in mind: spend wisely, invest wisely, and diversify your holdings so that when one performs poorly, the others do as well. This can be accomplished by hiring a knowledgeable specialist whose platform provides a wide range of investment options. By doing so, you leave little room for regrets and may even gain more.

      With the assistance of an investment advisor, I was able to diversify my $401k portfolio across multiple markets, earning over $980k in net profit from high dividend yielding stocks, ETFs, and bonds in just a few short months.

      @Maia Danziger My Financial adviser is Laurel Dell Sroufe, she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..

    Several of the biggest market experts have been voicing their opinions on exactly how awful they think the next downturn would be, and how far equities may have to go, as recession draws closer and inflation continues.. well above the Fed's 2% objective. I'm trying to build a portfolio of at least $850k by the time I'm 60. I need suggestions on what investments to make..

    America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..

    What happened to SVB is really scary, and goes to show that no corporation, however big, is immune to collapse. I have always had a deep-seated mistrust for corporations. I have plans to pull out most of my money, but don't know what to do with $ 350k sitting idly. I'd like to go into the stock market, maybe. Any ideas?

    It's the West's decision to block Russia to use Dollar & Euro Dollar rather, that leaves Russia no choice but to use Yuan instead. However, Russia opens up the Pandora's box, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, India follow suit. It will damage Dollar hegemony eventually.

      How powerful is the US military compared to other nations?
      Ridiculously powerful. Most people have no idea. There is no other nation that can project as much power across such long distances in so short a time. Not the Russians. Not the Chinese (yet). Of a certain, our capabilities have lessened due to cutbacks in military spending and the sequester in recent years, but still, nothing compares.
      I remember when the US had to fly its troops and equipment halfway across the world to stage the invasion.
      Despite this, with the Republican Guard having months to prepare the small front of attack, the US managed to completely subdue one of the largest armies in the world, in two weeks, in a nation the size of Poland, with a total of a couple hundred casualties. This with a coalition force of 148,000 facing a dug in force of over 500,000 Iraqis.
      To put this into perspective, the German surprise attack on Poland to start WW2 is regarded as a German cake walk in comparison.

    Not just Russia and China, the whole world is moving away from using the dollar. Many are moving to regional direct settlement or bilateral settlement. So the dollar will see smaller and smaller usage, hence the value will drop.

    Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. you have to contend with inflation, recession, decisions from the Feds and all. I was able to increase my portfolio by $589k in months. You have to seek for help in the right places.

      I think it's not always about fear. Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For example, I have tried to invest in the stock market several times, but have always been put off by fluctuations in the value of shares.

    • Theo Alex

      @ZACH HAG Given that we are not accustomed to such uncertain markets, the fact that the US stock market has been on its longest bull run ever makes the widespread anxiety and excitement comprehensible. There are opportunities if you know where to go, as you noted that it wasn't difficult for me to earn more than $1Million in the previous 10 months. Since I was aware that I would need a reliable and strong plan to get through these tough times, I engaged a portfolio advisor.

    I'm really worried about the current bank crisis. If a bank as big as SVB could fail, I fear for a lot more. I know a friend who is running a high-growth startup, and was badly hit by the bank run. I have pulled out more than $340k from my bank. After all, the FDIC covers only up to$250,000, and the implosion could have bad effect. Looking to invest into the stock market now. Does anyone know how I could go about it?

    • Lilian Berry
      Lilian Berry Month ago

      We underestimate the fact that banks are corporate entities also governed by greed. Since 2020, the banks have been over-leveraging their assets, which was one of the reasons for SVB's implosion. I have never been okay with keeping much money in the bank. I simply invest through my financial advisor, collect my profits, which I then spend.

    I don't think so, but over time it could be that the geopolitical turn of Russia as a supplier of energy and raw materials to the eastern economies could create a "monetary block " where the yuan could become more prevalent, but other geo-economic turns need to happen too, like how Japan, Korea and India would accommodate themselves to such reality.

      Fala Ai Month ago +3

      @Santiago ---- Not gonna happen in the next 50 years. Russia has no choice but to accept Yuan and of course China needs to import the oil. That part makes sense. However the Yuan is not a market based currency. You can't freely trade Yuan like you can Dollars, Pounds, Euros, Yen etc. China does not allow their own citizens to invest in other currencies. When they've done so they have had massive capital flight. Chinese investors are locked into their own stock market. Without easy convertibility, no investor will touch Yuan as a reserve currency.
      If you think India would consider using the Yuan, that is a total fantasy. The Indians want to create manufacturing jobs that are currently being done in China, they are clear rivals. A short time ago China and India had a military skirmishes on the Indian northern border. They dislike each other intensely. Forget that one.
      Japan and Korea already have freely convertible currencies with zero need to change what they're doing. Forget them too. So in summary, that leaves no one except the Russians who trashed their own currency and economy. And were banned from using euro and the dollar. On bilateral trade they are forced to accept Yuan.

      @Jamil Khan You just don't understand how basic economic system works. The united states is the biggest economy in the world and USD is world's reserve currency. This put the US government in a unique position to print USD as needed for its economy wihout loosing much value, as long as US economy continute to grow and people buy USD as reserve currency. If you want to take away the United State's ability to print money, then grow your country's economy larger than the United States or try to convince the world to use your currency as reserve currency. Simple as that!

    It took decades for dollars to be dominant. It will take at least a decade for it to stop being dominant. In addition, China has no intention of yuan to be world reserve currency: it just wants to reduce possible sanction risks as well as convinence in trade between non-west countries. Yuan won't replace dollar anytime soon, but regarding dethroning dollar, there is a saying: "Die with a thousand cuts."

    The discussion presented here focuses on the Yuan dethroning USD as the reserve currency. But the real threat is not so much the Yuan, but the BRICS countries trading in each other’s currencies. In the last 6 months, a dozen countries including Saudi have submitted applications to join BRICS. Meanwhile, countries worldwide are shedding their US treasury bonds and massively increasing their gold holdings. In the next couple of years, dominance of the USD would significantly decline, although not yet replaced. As more and more USD returns to America, it will further aggravate its inflation problem, driving its economy into dangerous territory.

    Russia and China can succeed, not by the virtue of their currencies or policies, but by the self-toppling of the dollar, which is also losing status due to abusive weaponization of the dollar, excess printing, excess federal spending, excess debt, along with the surprising success of superior new cryptocurrencies that replace the USD.

    If Saudi Arabia drops the dollar or allow other currencies to purchase oil other than the dollar, many countries will significantly reduce the dollars in their reserves as it is no longer needed to purchase oil. NOPEC, price cap and the weaponization of the US dollar are among the reason why Saudi Arabia feel threatened and insecure about relying on the US dollar for future oil sales and OPEC will follow Saudi's lead to drop the dollar or diversify.

    Predicting< a reversal of a trend is risky, and even worse, I believe there is more to this market than we understand currently. When people are losing, they don't aim to increase their average, but that can only change if you have a personal trade guide and signal provider like that of Grayson Miles which has made me almost 9.5 on a 2 btc Trade capital over the last 3 months. Make the wise decision. Markets fluctuate in cycles that can last anywhere from a few days to several years. In the case of B -TC, it's difficult to make a bullish case simply from looking at the charts.

    The most traded currencies daily from April 2022, the Sterling, Yen and Euro would have a better shot at replacing the $ dollar than the Yuan. And it's back up since then. The Canadian and Australian dollar were just behind the Yuan. Just think about those things, that even with all of the exports out of China globally and this is where it is. Of which will likely steadily decline in the years to come. The reality is that whether anyone likes it or not, the Chinese rise economically needed the West as a market. There is no replacement.
    Also as of right now, the AUD, CAD and Swiss Franc now are being traded more than the Yuan.

    I remember travelling in Peru in 1990 when there was hyper inflation. The people of Peru wanted U.S. dollars, not their own currency which was losing up to 50% per day. My friend and I had U.S. and Canadian dollar traveller's cheques, so we were completely insulated from the inflation. It was then that I learned that there was more U.S. currency in circulation outside of the United States than inside. I have no idea what the ratio is now, but I'd bet it's comparable.
    Russia is nowhere near a peer to the U.S. economically (or in any other way), while China has caught up economically but is still not a peer. I know the U.S. is printing huge amounts of dollars, as well as borrowing huge amounts creating massive debt, however I would be surprised if any Chinese/Russian currency usurps the U.S. dollar any time soon. In 10 or 20 years maybe but my gut feeling is not any time soon.

    Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, the United States has been the only, and unchallenged superpower, accustomed to hegemonic aggressions; the indiscriminate and unconsidered exercise of its superior military assets, and its overwhelming global and geopolitical influence. This in turn has given the United States its economic and financial clouts to sustain the greenbacks.
    The United States has been exploiting the rest of the world with its indiscriminate borrowings. This is largely made possible because the US dollar is the dominant currency in international trade transactions and settlements. In other words, the United States can continue to print the greenbacks to finance its insatiable appetite for consumption; and to augment the exploitation and hegemony of capital.
    Effectively, the cost of capital and labor of other producing countries - to the United States - is no more than the cost of printing the greenbacks.

    What I think will happen realistically is that the US dollar will still remain a dominant currency for global trade but it will no longer be the ONLY for such trades, there might be 3 currencies for global trades, the USD, Chinese Yuan and the newly announced BRICS currency (yet to be made or named as of this post). Also, it’s possible that all South American countries will merge their currencies into 1 and the same might happen with African countries. Either way, I live in Canada and inflation here is so out of control. A litre of regular gasoline is $1.60 CAD, a bag of 2kg oranges 🍊 are around $8, a pack of cigarettes are $17, an average burger 🍔 and fries at a normal take out restaurant is $15+, average rent for 2 bedroom apartment in Toronto is $2600/month, minimum wage is I think $16/hour (before tax reduction), 1 way bus 🚌 fare is around $3.25. Current mortgage interest rate is around 5%

      How powerful is the US military compared to other nations?
      Ridiculously powerful. Most people have no idea. There is no other nation that can project as much power across such long distances in so short a time. Not the Russians. Not the Chinese (yet). Of a certain, our capabilities have lessened due to cutbacks in military spending and the sequester in recent years, but still, nothing compares.
      I remember when the US had to fly its troops and equipment halfway across the world to stage the invasion.
      Despite this, with the Republican Guard having months to prepare the small front of attack, the US managed to completely subdue one of the largest armies in the world, in two weeks, in a nation the size of Poland, with a total of a couple hundred casualties. This with a coalition force of 148,000 facing a dug in force of over 500,000 Iraqis.
      To put this into perspective, the German surprise attack on Poland to start WW2 is regarded as a German cake walk in comparison.

      ----
      Russia is currently projecting his asynchronous power at even greater distances. And the cost of projecting it is much lower than the US's projection of its military.
      Add to this that your "project as much power" is a too vague concept, and to realize that is is vague ask yourself simple questions such as "project what, for how long, to obtain what, at what cost, etc etc.?". And add to those the simple question how that after 20 years the consequences of the "victory" over Iraq are turning in a a long-term defeat. Your is simplistic, cartoon-like. If those, that you talk about, were victories, nobody would question today the $'s role in the world.

Very pointedly, and in contrast to the more reactionary tone adopted with other policy areas, China's foreign ministers have repeatedly stated that alternatives to USD are long-haul, slow moving goals. Slow and steady wins the race and the sober, muted tone, matched by continued moves toward parallel currency and finance agreements, are how you know the PRC will succeed in breaking USD hegemony.

      Yes after all everyone is safe, not fighting endless wars, their country in good state of economy, not defending people endlessly saying they should learn how to be peaceful while their attackers literally send waves of attacks, their country being sanctioned to no end, their people attempting to flee the place, no place giving them refugee status, even western nations give them no care, no country to have as their own. Their families scattered in more countries than they know, and their suffering with end in sight. The refuge seeking life like nomads is something we are biologically programmed to do like sheep's that graze all day we can't seem to find a better thing to do.
      But yeah why are we still doing this to ourselves is something absurd, some people tell us why can we be kind and not fight around when our land is the one where the fighting goes along. We seem to be inviting many people inside and trying to fight everyday and even attacking our own people because we are not educated as in the west.
      Some people say we have a liking to go and do some hiking in the west because it is so hot in our country. And that we go as refugees because we just like more money and love being called from western land. Our place is very not photo genic and we also live taking pictures too much and picnic would fix any illness of our own.
      They say we need to learn how to be more peaceful because it is something we have an issue understanding because like small boys all we know is to fight around and be mischievous. Our suffering is not a good enough lesson others might even go to say. A few piano lessons is a good medicine others wish for us to do more.
      In the end we are our own problem as being stubborn is only thing we do right all day long.
      If someone just said peace with ❤ after it out loud we would have been saved of all the trouble we went through.
      But you know it's not bad that some still are around, we can happily live in company of the ones that are still around.

When regions are considered, ASEAN (because of the countries already mentioned) is China's number one trading partner, seconded by the EU, then the US in third place. In other words, China's most important trade is carried out with the US and countries that are close allies of the US. This means China may resort to local currencies in bi-lateral trade with some countries on the periphery of its trade portfolio, but the realities of its trade relations mean it needs to use the US dollar most of the time. The most important countries (besides Russia) with which China has bi-lateral agreements based on local currencies are Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and India; other interested parties (reportedly) are Egypt, Brazil, the UAE, and a few others. Yet all these countries also have important trade or security relations with the US, which means for them too, ditching the dollar completely is out of the question.

      You have listed the current situation, so the real key to solving the problem is North Korea. As long as China solves the North Korean problem and establishes a China-Japan-Korea free trade zone, CJK+ASIAN, The entire eastern part of Asia will form a unified economic interest body.

      How powerful is the US military compared to other nations?
      Ridiculously powerful. Most people have no idea. There is no other nation that can project as much power across such long distances in so short a time. Not the Russians. Not the Chinese (yet). Of a certain, our capabilities have lessened due to cutbacks in military spending and the sequester in recent years, but still, nothing compares.
      I remember when the US had to fly its troops and equipment halfway across the world to stage the invasion.
      Despite this, with the Republican Guard having months to prepare the small front of attack, the US managed to completely subdue one of the largest armies in the world, in two weeks, in a nation the size of Poland, with a total of a couple hundred casualties. This with a coalition force of 148,000 facing a dug in force of over 500,000 Iraqis.
      To put this into perspective, the German surprise attack on Poland to start WW2 is regarded as a German cake walk in comparison.

      @Alastor 3D they are having trouble fulfilling their recruiting goals. They are going to have to raise the debt ceiling to pay salaries, medical, etc. Not the WAR budget though.High interest rates mean DEBT interest costs more. They took in less than they spent last year. That kind of fiscal management combined with sanctions that apparently are broken even by themselves, does not paint an image of power. More like Ukrainian corruption.

    Let's think about this from a different perspective:

    - The USA is discinplined and doesn't print the money as they want,
    - The US never uses the dollar as a weapon to sanction coutries that don't go along with it.
    I think if all the three conditions are met, no matter what China and Russia (other countries as well) do, they won't succeed in dethroning the dollar.
