The US dollar is going to finish the year down against all of the major trading currencies. Dollar diversification was one of the major themes in global markets this year and is going to be a major part of the global economic narrative going forward.[image or embed]

From the sub-summary ...

imo, a lot of the drop in the Dollar's value is due to the uncertainty of Pres Trump's whimsical tariff and economic policies.

As recently as this spring, there were over 7.30 China Yuan for a US Dollar.

Nowadays, only 6.99 China Yuan are needed to match a US Dollar.

Stability ain't in his wheelhouse. Especially with Epstein lurking everywhere.

Normally, this would be great news for exports, and foreign investment in the Untied States.

Unfortunately, Republicans started a global trade war with our biggest and best trading partners.

" Normally, this would be great news for exports, and foreign investment in the Untied States."

Instead, it's great news for folks who invest in China.

BTW, same thing happened in the first year of Trump's first term. I saw it coming: I saw who Trump was bringing in, and knew they were crooks, so I reasoned they were going to game the system and purposely weaken the dollar. So I immediately rebalanced my portfolio to favor non-dollar denominated investments.

My China fund was up 58.9% that year. This year, it's about half that much. I'll take it.

OMG!?! What will subsidies to Exxon be worth?!

Billionaires as so.. likeable. Disappointing them makes the sacrifice of our healthcare, education and wages seem lesser.
