Traders are massively betting on a dollar collapse. The currency index has almost reached its 2025 low, and the premium for short term options against the dollar has reached its highest level since 2011.
The dollar is losing its status as a safe haven asset, having fallen by more than 10% over the year.
but this negatively affects consumers: the US trade balance remains negative, and imported goods are becoming more expensive.
These moves are being driven by fears over the country’s widening budget deficit, escalating trade conflicts, and a faster shift toward diversification into gold and other assets.
