Topics
Kyle Rizdahl: 作为主持人，我指出美元在2025年对多种货币贬值，强调了美元作为全球储备货币的地位及其面临的挑战。我认为，尽管美元面临困境，但它仍然是最稳定和最具流动性的货币。 Matt Levin: 作为记者，我报道了特朗普政府的贸易战如何促使企业重新考虑其货币选择。我的报道侧重于企业开始考虑使用其他货币进行国际交易的案例。 Paula Cummings: 作为银行外汇销售主管，我分享了客户案例，说明企业如何因贸易战而寻求以欧元或比索等其他货币进行支付。我强调，放弃美元可以帮助企业协商更低的价格，但也指出长期以来美元的“国王”地位。 Carl Shimada: 作为跨境支付公司的首席市场策略师，我分析了美元贬值对企业的影响，指出企业担心美元贬值会降低其国内购买力。我认为，企业正在关注美元的下跌趋势，并可能因此调整其货币策略。 Ishwar Prasad: 作为经济学家，我认为美元的全球地位不会迅速消失，因为目前缺乏理想的替代方案。但我警告说，如果美元的主导地位发生重大转变，可能会导致美国和全球金融市场出现动荡。

The US dollar's status as the global reserve currency is being challenged due to the Trump administration's trade policies. Businesses are reconsidering their options and exploring alternatives to the dollar, leading to concerns about potential turmoil in US and global financial markets.
  • The US dollar is down almost 10% year-to-date against the euro and more than 8% against the Mexican peso and yen.
  • Businesses are reconsidering using the dollar for international transactions due to its decline.
  • If there is a major shift away from dollar dominance, it will likely be abrupt and painful, potentially causing turmoil in US and global financial markets.

Shownotes Transcript

This is a busy time for food banks — without school breakfast and lunch programs, more families lean on them. But between millions of dollars slashed from the USDA budget and heightened deportation fears, it’s a tougher-than-usual summer. In this episode, we visit Texas food banks with a simple goal: keep kids from going hungry. Plus, Trump wants to privatize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the cost of basic baby items is up 24% since new tariffs were imposed, and retail sales fell in May.
