This week on Money & Investing, Mitch Olarenshaw and I discuss the future of the US dollar, focusing on its trajectory and the key factors influencing its movement.

1. Interest rates and the $

We start by analysing the expected lower interest rates in the United States. We explore how potential rate cuts could impact the dollar’s value and the broader economy.

2. Oil sales & common misconceptions

Next, we address ongoing speculation about Saudi Arabia’s oil sales and its supposed exclusive use of the US dollar. We break down the realities behind the headlines and the true implications for the dollar.

3. Politics & the dollar strength

We then examine the political landscape, particularly how a potential Republican win could influence the strength of the US dollar. Our focus is on trade and manufacturing impacts.

4. The USD from a global perspective

Finally we take a global perspective, considering how other countries might view the US dollar and the growing pressures on its status as the world’s reserve currency.
