About this episode
On today's episode of The Macro Trading Floor, Alfonso & Andreas begin by discussing the banking turmoil of recent weeks and how commercial real estate could impact loan books in both the U.S and Europe. Alfonso & Andreas then move on to discuss the hot topic of the week, the U.S Dollar. With headlines hitting the wire mentioning energy transactions being conducted in Yuan and further relations between the BRICS nations, some investors believe this is a pivotal moment in the end of the U.S Dollar as world reserve currency. Alfonso & Andreas walk through what characteristics make a world reserve currency, and why recent headlines will likely remain just headlines.
