Rethinking the Dollar

🚨 The Japanese Yen has fallen to a 34-year low against the U.S. Dollar, raising questions about whether it is a genuine reflection of economic weakness or a fleeting reaction to market jitters. The sudden plunge aligns with geopolitical maneuverings and international trade deals. As a skeptic I question the underlying forces at play and consider who stands to gain from this fall, as currency markets are as much about perception as economics.

This graph signifies the discontinuation of a critical measure in the banking system, the Required Reserves of Depository Institutions. By no longer enforcing a minimum reserve requirement, banks are now theoretically allowed to loan out almost every single penny deposited with them, with no mandated financial buffer. In a short-term view, this might appear beneficial, leading to more loans and ostensibly juicing the economy. However, this also implies that the safety net for depositors is disturbingly thin. Should too many depositors decide to withdraw their funds at once, or should the loans turn sour, the banks could face a dire liquidity crisis with no required reserves to fall back on. It's a classic recipe for a run on the banks, putting the financial system and the money of ordinary citizens at substantial risk. The 'discontinued' tag on the graph raises eyebrows — it hints at a silent removal of a protective barrier without public debate, leaving one to wonder: who truly benefits from such a change?
