A new report by Union Bank reveals that global investors are pulling capital out of U.S. assets, causing the U.S. dollar to lose value rapidly. The shift is seen as a sign that trust in the dollar is declining internationally, as investors pursue other asset options.
According to the report, the ongoing decline of the U.S. dollar is linked less to interest rate changes and more to a clear “reallocation of global capital.” The report notes that decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve to keep interest rates steady have not reversed the downturn in the dollar’s status.
The bank indicated that the U.S. dollar’s weakening is “no longer being driven solely by shifting rate expectations; it is now being reinforced by a decisive reallocation of global capital.” The report explains that a continued cautious policy from the Federal Reserve—marked by slow interest rate adjustments—could further harm the dollar’s global presence. It also attributes falling demand for U.S. assets to external factors such as evolving trade policies.
One of the main drivers cited is China’s diversification away from the dollar. According to the report, “the share of U.S. Treasury holdings in total Chinese FX reserves has declined by about 15 percentage points since 2016, to about 22%, near the lowest in at least 15 years.” In the same period, China’s gold holdings rose by 5 percentage points, now at a record 6.8%. Since 2022, China’s gold reserves have doubled, and the country has purchased roughly 200 tons of gold.
This shift is part of a broader trend as more countries decrease their exposure to the U.S. dollar, accelerating what the report calls a global “de-dollarization” effort. The reduction in the dollar’s share of international reserves and the movement toward assets like gold demonstrates a changing financial landscape.
