Show Notes
The US dollar has been the world’s reserve currency for more than half a century – but what happens when the US is running extraordinary fiscal deficits and a contentious election is looming? The yen is falling, China is buying gold, and markets are starting to ask questions.
Nab’s Head of FX Strategy Ray Attrill joins the podcast to discuss:
- why the fall in Japanese yen has real implications for China and emerging markets
- the threshold at which a genuine currency crisis becomes a real possibility
- how the US has managed to avoid a crisis despite exceeding this threshold, and
- what tariffs of 100% on Chinese imports to the US means for the US, China and others.
