Re: “The collapse of the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan shows why a potential BRICS currency is not a threat to the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency, Breitbart Economics Editor John Carney told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow Friday.”
Hogwash. Neither China nor Russia use a gold-backed currency, which is what BRICS toyed with doing. If BRICS follows through with what it considered and actually does it, the dollar will be toast.

The yuan and ruble are fiat currencies, just like the dollar. All it takes is a downturn in people's faith and fiat moneys will collapse. ANY fiat moneys. That's what we're seeing in Russia and China. If anything, the collapse of the two (if that's even happening, though I am unconvinced) makes the possibility of backed money an even bigger threat to the completely unbacked dollar.

Carney on ‘Kudlow’: The Collapse of Russia and China’s Currencies Shows Why BRICS Is Not a Threat to the Dollar

https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2023/08/18/carney-on-kudlow-the-collapse-of-russia-and-chinas-currencies-shows-why-brics-is-not-a-threat-to-the-dollar/

The collapse of the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan shows why a potential BRICS currency is not a threat to the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency, Breitbart Economics Editor John Carney told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow Friday.

As the BRICS countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa prepare to meet next week in Johannesburg, the currencies of two of its members are falling fast.

“I would bail out of that club if I were Brazil and India,” Carney quipped.

When asked if BRICS is a threat to the dollar, Carney shot back, “Absolutely not. And what we’re seeing in the collapse of the ruble and the collapse of China’s currency is the rest of the world wants nothing to do with these controlled economy currencies.”

(Article does continue. Zim.)

Also,
A quick search of 'news' suggests that China and Russia both have dropping currency values . . . And that China has 'halted the slide'.

I've also heard that China has a very high 'youth unemployment rate' and several 'economic powerhouses' are flirting with bankruptcy.

Of course, the way biden is fouling up the American economy . . . In my opinion all bets are off.

Euro anybody?

Zim.
