IMF drills for potential dollar rush

The IMF is preparing for extreme scenarios, including a rapid sell-off of dollar-denominated assets, as Georgieva says the Fund models “unthinkable” events. With Trump tariffs and criticisms of the Fed, confidence in the dollar has waned, gold prices surged, and BRICS nations are pursuing de-dollarisation. Georgieva suggested Europe issue more common debt to offer a safe asset alternative, though political resistance makes this difficult. The dollar’s status as the global reserve currency is not expected to change imminently due to the size and liquidity of US debt markets.

Trump's Venezuela Oil Strategy Sparks Market Turmoil

The article argues that the US invasion of Venezuela is primarily driven by the desire to protect the US dollar's dominance through the petrodollar system, which is under threat as Venezuela and other countries move away from dollar-based oil transactions and join de-dollarization efforts with BRICS. Historically, challenges to the petrodollar have led to regime changes, and the current invasion is seen as a last-ditch effort to maintain US economic hegemony through violence and control of strategic resources. The article suggests this may accelerate global de-dollarization and weaken US influence.
