What will replace the U.S. dollar in global trade? There’s no clear answer. Based on central bank buying, gold is a logical candidate – or at the very least a placeholder.
The Euro isn’t a good replacement. But it is a good model for a regional currency, and a basket of those currencies – including what we call BRICS Bucks for countries aligned against the West – may be part of that future.
Whatever does happen – one thing is certain. The dollar’s role in international trade continues to decline:
The latest slump over the past year is on track to be as steep as the decline during Covid, when lockdowns largely cut off global trade.
Add in the uncertainty of the Trump regime – which still has more than three years to go – and it’s likely that the dollar will continue to lose ground to a variety of other currencies.

P.S.: Back in February, I visited my friend Ronan McMahon at Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. Ronan is the founder of Real Estate Trend Alert – RETA – a group that finds the best investment opportunities in international real estate, from city living to beachfront condos in the Caribbean.
Ronan’s deal goes live tomorrow, but you can review the Cap Cana deal here. It may be just the kind of overseas dream home you’ve envisioned for your retirement – or for your next real estate investment.
P.P.S: With the ongoing weakness in the dollar, the hard asset story continues to get stronger by the minute, and so is our research. Andrew will be at the Rule Investment Symposium in Boca Raton on July 7-11, 2025.
