US Dollar Weakness Accelerates as Global Reserve Diversification Intensifies
The DXY index plunged to 99 this week, marking the greenback’s worst quarterly performance against major currencies since 2020.

Geopolitical tensions under the TRUMP administration have triggered unprecedented reserve diversification. Central banks are accelerating gold purchases while reducing exposure to US Treasuries, with total offloaded dollar assets exceeding $200 billion year-to-date. The $36.2 trillion US debt overhang looms as a persistent threat to dollar hegemony.
