U.S. Dollar Index Plummets 10.8% in H1 2025 Amid Record Money Supply Growth
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) suffered its steepest first-half decline in 52 years, dropping 10.8% as the M2 money supply ballooned to a record $21.942 trillion. This unprecedented currency expansion has triggered widespread concern among analysts about the dollar's weakening position in global markets.
Federal Reserve data reveals the money supply now exceeds April 2022's peak by $193 billion, with economists warning that such rapid growth could further erode the dollar's value. JPMorgan's Meera Chandan predicts sustained dollar weakness against major currencies through year-end, as budget deficits and national debt continue mounting.
