Is The Dollar Being Devalued?
The U.S. dollar has had some very difficult years recently, with a constant depreciation of its value and determining an increasing inflation. The crisis the dollar is experiencing may have some hidden causes which are known only by the two decision-makers in terms of global economy, the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank.
The two bodies decide on the policies to be applied when it comes to the U. S. dollar, but their apparent decisions are not always sustained by reality. The strong dollar policy is contradicted by the free fall of the currency, which has decisive impact on the economical market, influencing everything, from higher prices for all commodities, to even higher price of gold, for instance.
For those who might wonder why a cheaper currency would be appreciated, we offer China as an example. The most important exporter, China has several times been accused of keeping their national currency, the yuan, devalued. Representatives of the E.U. have voiced, at the latest G20 meeting, this concern and joined the U.S. in demanding China to give up their strategy with regards to the yuan. But, there are more and more analysts claiming that, in fact, the same policy is now applied in the case if the dollar, since the U.S. wish to become, once again the leader on the exports market being of common knowledge.
In these circumstances, it will come as no surprise that the dollar will maintain this descendent trend in order to boost up the U.S. export market. A move which, so far, has proven to have negative impact on the ordinary people’s life as all prices have risen and one can sense insecurity in terms of bank deposits or stock market as a means of investing one’s money.
In such circumstances, investing in a national currency, be it the strongest available may look like a suicidal gesture. This is why, the number of people investing in gold has boomed. Indeed, the ascendant trend that gold is experiencing together with the large variety of products available, have made gold a solid and handy means of investment to compensate the chaotic movement of the dollar.
To take but one example, gold sovereigns currency offer a double value, both in terms of their 22 carat component and in terms of their numismatic feature, proving to be very attractive for coin collectors and not only.
