I'll be in Washington, DC from July 15 to July 18 to meet @bloomberg.com colleagues and connect with sources.

If you're based in the area and want to chat about currencies, rates, tariffs, the Fed or anything of the sort, please feel free to reach out. Coffee's on me!

Many Exporters No Longer Want Dollars, US Bank Executive Says When Paula Comings, the head of currency sales for US Bancorp, talks to US importers, she increasingly hears the same message: Their foreign counterparties no longer want to be paid in dollars.

It was a small footnote among the hours of Jay Powell's testimony to Congress this week, but Rhode Island Senator @reed.senate.gov on Wednesday asked the Fed chair about our recent @bloomberg.com story on how a growing chorus of exporters no longer want the dollar.

Another sign that the dollar’s dominance is in trouble: US importers are increasingly being asked by their foreign counterparties to settle transactions in currencies other than the US dollar, such as euros, RMB, Mexican pesos, and Canadian dollars.

Trump Is Driving Off Investors and Threatening the Dollar’s Reign

The president’s economic agenda is dragging down the dollar and making it more difficult for the US to finance its deficits.

β€œRare, ugly and worrying”. That is how Krishna Guha, vice-chair at Evercore ISI, described the market moves today. In the last 30 yrs he said there are only four other episodes in which the U.S dollar index depreciated more than 1.5% with the yield on U.S. 30-year government debt up more than 10bps

This might age poorlyβ€”spectacularly soβ€”but it's possible we don't get the negative 5-to-10% FX reaction that everyone is expecting if tariffs are announced tomorrow. Retail traders, amped up by scary headlines, may drive the CAD and MXN to overshoot, but the case for shorting is quite flimsy.. (1/2)
