The US Dollar's reserve currency status remains in a downtrend:
The US Dollar share of the world's central banks reserves fell slightly to 58.4% in Q4 2023 from 59.2% in Q3 2023, according to the IMF. By comparison, the US Dollar accounted to 71% of reserves globally in 2000. However, it is worth noting that the US Dollar remains the most dominant currency and it's not even close. For example. the Chinese Yuan's share in Q4 2024 was just 2.3% and the Euro's share is ~20%. Is the US Dollar's reserve currency status safe? Source: The Kobeissi Letter, BofA
