Standard Chartered: U.S. dollar fears overstated, "re-dollarization" trend observed

Economists at Standard Chartered argue that fears of the U.S. dollar losing its global dominance are overstated, suggesting a trend of "re-dollarization" rather than de-dollarization. They observe that exporters and investors continue to favor holding U.S. dollars, citing examples like Taiwan retaining most of its export earnings in USD. While acknowledging concerns about U.S. debt and sanctions, the bank's strategists believe alternative currencies are less attractive and that the dollar's safe-haven status remains robust due to U.S. economic resilience and productivity gains, particularly in the AI sector.
