What’s Next for the U.S. Dollar

Ricardo Mora, Liz

Goldman Sachs analysts project a 6.1% global growth surge for 2021, anticipating a weakening U.S. dollar that benefits emerging markets and G10 currencies despite the dollar retaining its primary safe-haven status. The firm forecasts significant opportunities in equities and commodities, noting that gold and digital assets like Bitcoin are increasingly viewed as essential portfolio hedges as traditional bond yields decline. While competing jurisdictions such as China and the EU advance their financial integration, the resilience of U.S. institutions ensures the dollar remains dominant even as divergent emerging market policies create uneven recovery patterns.
