US Dollar FAQ
The US Dollar (USD) is the official currency of the United States, and a significant number of other countries’ real ‘currency’ currency, where it is found in circulation with local notes. It is the world’s heaviest business currency, according to 2022 data, more than 88% of all global forex turnover, or an average of $ 6.6 trillion per day transaction. After World War II, the USD took over as the world’s reserved currency from the British pound. For most of its history, the US dollar was supported by gold, until the Bretton Woods compromised in 1971 when Gold moved to Standard.
The most important single factor that affects the value of the US dollar is the monetary policy, shaped by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed has two mandates: to promote price stability (control inflation) and complete employment. To achieve these two goals, its primary tool is to adjust interest rates. When prices are rising very quickly and the inflation is above the 2% target of the Fed, the fed rates will increase, which helps in the USD price. When inflation is reduced by 2% or the unemployment rate is very high, the fed interest rate may decrease, which weighs on greenback.
In extreme conditions, the Federal Reserve can also print more dollars and apply quantitative ease (QE). Qi is the process by which the fed greatly increases the flow of credit into a stuck financial system. This is a non-standard policy measure that has dried up the credit because banks will not lend to each other (from fear of opposition default). This is one of the last measures when reducing only interest rates is unlikely to achieve the necessary results. It was Fed’s weapon to combat credit crunchs during the great financial crisis in 2008. It contains more dollars fed printing and use them mainly from financial institutions to buy American government bonds. Qi usually leads to a weak US dollar.
Quantitative Tightening (QT) is a reverse process that stops buying bonds from Federal Reserve Financial Institutions and does not reinstate the principal from bonds that mature in new purchases. This is usually positive for the US dollar.
