Dollar Alert: US-China Tensions Impact World Reserve Currency
Financial analysts at JPMorgan, a prominent financial institution, have expressed concerns about the potential impact of heightened geopolitical tensions between the world's two largest economies.
They caution that an escalation in US-China tensions could lead to a decline in the dollar’s global market share for reserves and trade settlements.
This could result in the emergence of a new Cold War due to increased competition between these powerful nations.
The analysts highlight that such tensions could lead to deglobalization in trade and finance, possibly causing de-dollarization in the financial sector. Political issues within the United States may also pose a risk to the stability of its economy during a financial crisis.
China’s economic reforms and potential relaxation of strict capital controls are viewed as factors that could further weaken the dollar’s dominance.

Despite these risks, the analysts acknowledge that it is unlikely for any other currency to replace the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency in the next decade.
They foresee a scenario of “partial de-dollarization,” where the Chinese currency gains market share over the dollar among nations not economically aligned with the US.
