'The dollar is going to fall very, very sharply,' warns prominent Yale economist
Stephen Roach, Yale University senior fellow and former Morgan Stanley Asia chairman, has a warning for U.S. dollar bulls. The prominent economist says that the era of the U.S. buck may be coming to an end and is forecasting a 35% decline soon in the U.S. currency against its major rivals, citing increases in the nations deficit and dwindling savings.
The lecturer said during CNBCs Trading Nation on Monday that the rise of China and the decoupling of the U.S. from its trade partners is setting the stage for a dramatic weakening of the U.S. currency in the next few years that is likely to end the supremacy of the monetary unit as the worlds reserve currency.
The dollar is going to fall very, very sharply, he told the business network.
Roachs comments follow similarly themed op-ed that he wrote in Bloomberg last week, in which he specifically declared that the era of the U.S. dollars exorbitant privilege as the worlds primary reserve currency is coming to an end.
