🇺🇸 #USD #Dollar | Despite everything we hear about the end of the dollar, its dominance in the global financial system has never been stronger.
➡️ This FT chart highlights the dollar’s central role in global funding: dollar deposits within the international banking system, outside the United States. In this key arena of global liquidity, the dollar overwhelmingly dominates.
📈 The dollar has grown from around $4 trillion in the late 1990s to nearly $15 trillion today. What stands out is not just the growth but the resilience. After the 2008 crisis, many expected a shift away from the dollar. In reality, we saw a temporary correction, followed by stabilization, and then a strong new upcycle starting around 2015–2016, especially post-Covid. Each global crisis reinforces the role of the dollar rather than weakening it.
🇪🇺 On the other side, the euro is the only real challenger, but the gap remains massive. The euro surged until 2008, benefiting from European integration and ECB credibility, but for more than a decade now, there has been no meaningful catch-up dynamic. Simply put, Europe has not managed to turn the euro into a true global alternative to the dollar.
📊 Dollar dominance is not just about US economic power, it is rooted in the global financial infrastructure. The dollar is the currency of credit, liquidity, and collateral. As long as US capital markets remain the deepest, most liquid, and most reliable in the world, that dominance will persist.
🌐 There is a lot of discussion around geopolitical fragmentation, trade tensions, and de-dollarization, but in practice, whenever stress emerges (financial crises, energy shocks, geopolitical tensions), demand for the dollar rises. This is because it is the only currency capable of absorbing massive capital flows in times of uncertainty.
⚠️ The real question for the coming years is "what could realistically challenge this dynamic?" At this stage, there is no credible candidate, as other currencies do not meet all the necessary conditions (market depth, institutional trust, convertibility, political stability).
➡ Ignoring this reality means overlooking one of the core pillars of the global system.

Girano in questi giorni diverse mie foto false, generate con l’intelligenza artificiale e spacciate per vere da qualche solerte oppositore.
Devo riconoscere che chi le ha realizzate, almeno nel caso in allegato, mi ha anche migliorata parecchio. Ma resta il fatto che, pur di attaccare e di inventare falsità, ormai si usa davvero qualsiasi cosa.
Il punto, però, va anche oltre me. I deepfake sono uno strumento pericoloso, perché possono ingannare, manipolare e colpire chiunque. Io posso difendermi. Molti altri no.
Per questo una regola dovrebbe valere sempre: verificare prima di credere, e credere prima di condividere. Perché oggi capita a me, domani può capitare a chiunque.

And this btw may explain the weakness in oil, which otherwise appears weird

Before we pop champagne, this price action feels mechanical. Clear sell-the-strong, buy-the-weak into the close of the month - likely month-end rebalancing. Need more of this in early May to trust the rotation.
