According to the Brazilian government, China and Brazil have reached a deal to trade in their own currencies and ditch the US dollar.
In a time when de-dollarization news are dropping fast and furious and even Elon Musk is now jumping on a bandwagon…
… which we first defined a decade ago, not a day goes by without some modest or not so modest shift toward a world in which the US currency – fully weaponized after February 2022 for the entire world to see and fear – is no longer the world’s reserve. And today was no exception.
According to the Brazilian government, China and Brazil have reached a deal to trade in their own currencies, ditching the United States dollar as an intermediary entirely, AFP reported.
The deal, Beijing’s latest salvo against the almighty greenback, will enable China, the top rival to US economic hegemony, and Brazil, the biggest economy in Latin America, to conduct their massive trade which amounts to $150 billion per year, and financial transactions directly, exchanging yuan for reais and vice versa instead of going through the US dollar. In doing so China extends its bilateral, USD-exempting currency arrangements beyond countries such as Russia, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to now include the Latin American exporting powerhouse.
India’s Minister of State for Finance, Bhagwat Karad, informed parliament that the rupee was closer to replacing the dollar as 18 nations agreed to trade in INR.
