The USD keep going up after the 'demise'

There was never a 50yr old agreement to begin with.
The Saudi will continue to ask for USD because no other current has assets they can buy that is as large as the amounts of assets denominated in USD. With USD you can buy Apple stock ...there is 3 trillion worth.if they get the money in SGD ...what are theh going to buy with the money. If they get it in Yuan...what van they invest in that is large and attractive?

For another country to be the dominant reserve currency it has to have massive capital markets and banking sector that is free and open. Today only US and EU has such size and scale.

If you say the 1974 agreement between Saudi and US had nothing to do with currency, then, what had it to do with?

So where is the crash of USD???

It is going up instead  it just tough a new high for the year vs the Yuan

For China fan boys you can promote China EV, you can say Chjna streets are safer, You can say China has less crime and so on....but I am rather tired of "de dollarisation" fake news. Because it has zero truth.


Us dollar is used in 88% of international transactions. Most of the money owed in this world is demonominated in US dollar debtor countries like Argentina and Brazil need to find US$ to service their debt even as they join BRICS.

One day USD will implode and die but not in next few yrs or next few decades. There is just no substitute.

As for the Yuan, it is not even an open currency as the Chinese govt ring fence and called the onshore RMB which cannot be freely exchanged due to currency control. You need  large open markets and only the US has it.

Why don't you dig it up and tell us?  My finding is there was an agreement in 1974 for US to buy oil from Saudi.  The agreement is like any other agreement. The currency specified was US dollar and not Saudi Riyal.  "Oil has always traded in non-dollar currencies ... Saudi riyal remains pegged to the US dollar, and its stock of financial assets are dollar-focused."  As Saudi is a country and the oil belongs to Saudi,  how they want to sell their oil to other nations is non of US's business.
