The US dollar looks more bullish than bearish because it is priced against other currencies that are hit harder by oil. Most countries' bond yields are rising, not just America's, and the US has the world's most dominant economy, which AI is accelerating relative to others. Still, trading currencies makes little sense when stocks are rising 25%+ a year. x.com 

The dollar should catch a monster bid before any structural weakness, because fiat is a menu of bad choices and in a deleveraging no one reaches for euros or renminbi. If the US concludes it will not win in AI, there is a high probability the next step is to tank everything, and the dollar and US bonds would then be bid; the yen could also rise as carry trades unwind. Dollar strength comes first and leads to structural dollar weakness on the other side. x.com  x.com 

The US dollar looks set for a multi-year bear cycle because a multipolar world needs fewer dollars. Reserve managers are diversifying, trade settles in more currencies and central banks accumulate gold instead. Against an equally weighted basket, the dollar's half-century sequence of lower secular highs is topping again on its 7-to-10-year cycle. Every major commodity bull of the past century ran alongside a falling dollar, which could also bring a second inflation wave. x.com 

The US dollar should go higher because the Fed will have to hike and oil is rising, keeping a 105 DXY target intact. Long-end yields rose by the equivalent of a rate hike even as the short end fell. Recent weakness looks like a positioning unwind plus a suspected Bank of Japan yen intervention, a 3.5% move in two hours. The 100 range on DXY needs to hold. x.com  x.com 

The US dollar is becoming a black hole for global liquidity, driven by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's hawkish stance and a wave of AI-driven capital flowing back into US tech. Net long dollar positions have surged to $29.4 billion. BofA cut its EUR/USD target to 1.15 from 1.20 and now expects three more hikes this year, while Man Group sees another 5% dollar upside by year-end. This is an AI-monopoly story as much as a rate story, with capital leaving stagnant overseas markets to fund US computing. … Show more

The US dollar is overvalued and weakening as Asian surplus countries stop recycling their surpluses into dollar reserves, an external drain. Without that recycling, both yields and the currency are in price discovery. Ken Rogoff concluded that Asia not recycling would mean a lower dollar against Asian surplus currencies and higher nominal rates, both now happening. Per @DrDavidKass, Ed Yardeni blames the global bond rout on the yen-carry unwind; the explanations are not mutually exclusive. x.com  … Show more

The US dollar should strengthen over the long term as the US makes other countries reliant on its oil, a strategy that is working. The US is exporting more oil than it has in a long time. The bond move reflects rising energy prices, not a weak US economy, which is not actually that bad off. x.com 

The US dollar should keep strengthening against other currencies as Brent Johnson's dollar milkshake theory plays out, with stablecoins accelerating the move. The Turkish lira's fall to an all-time low against the dollar, down 98% since 2010 per Barchart, is an example of what other currencies will see. x.com 

The US dollar faces debasement because papering over the debt burden requires destroying its purchasing power to reduce debt-to-GDP. With no new buyer for US debt, bond rates will keep climbing: debt is $40 trillion versus $5 trillion in 2007, with a $2 trillion annual deficit and debt at 123% of GDP. Getting rates back to 2.5% would require a complete financial reset that destroys the dollar and inflates debt away; otherwise rates will climb to 6-9% in the short to medium term. x.com  x.com 

The US dollar will keep dominating until another nation becomes a world power. @CryptoTeca__ notes that 98-99% of the roughly $310-315B stablecoin market is dollar-denominated. x.com
