The US dollar is under pressure as geopolitical tensions and scrutiny of the Federal Reserve intensify. Recent political developments, including a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, have unsettled investors and raised questions about the dollar's stability. This uncertainty is compounded by geopolitical moves from the Trump administration, such as threats of import taxes on European goods following disputes over Greenland. Amid this backdrop, China is emerging as a beneficiary by expanding its yuan-denominated trade and payment systems. Beijing's efforts to promote its currency and financial infrastructure offer an alternative to countries seeking to diversify away from the dollar. As US-EU tensions rise, China's financial initiatives gain appeal, providing a strategic opening for Beijing to enhance its global influence without directly challenging the dollar's dominance.
