Dollar Weakness in 2026 Sparks Debate Over De-Dollarization
The US dollar has faced significant volatility in 2025, with fluctuations attributed to the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and the TRUMP administration's preference for a weaker currency. Analysts dismiss de-dollarization fears as premature, noting the dollar's enduring relevance in global markets.
Wells Fargo's chief economist, Tom Porcelli, suggests the dollar could regain strength if the Fed shifts its stance to support economic growth. Market observers emphasize that current turbulence reflects cyclical pressures rather than structural decline.
