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

BREAKING >>>
Tesla Inc. investors voted for Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s compensation package and moving the company’s state of incorporation to Texas, signaling confidence in his leadership despite slumping sales and a precipitous drop in the stock price. The electric-car maker announced the results at its annual meeting Thursday in Austin without disclosing the breakdown of votes. Musk had foreshadowed the outcome the night before in a post on X, saying both resolutions were “passing by wide margins.” The pay vote is only advisory and doesn’t guarantee Musk will get his money. A Delaware judge nullified Musk’s 2018 compensation plan in January, and Tesla is expected to appeal. If that appeal fails, moving the company’s legal home to Texas would allow the board to revive the pay package in a new state with potentially more favorable courts. Source: Bloomberg
