There was considerable hand-wringing last year about the weakness in the US Dollar. The history in Nominal US$, Advanced, Emg… reveals the US$ has strengthened since Putin and Xi gained control in their respective domains. Volatility in the Nominal US$ vs Advanced Economiesand Emerging Economies comes from investment and trade capital. Often enough we see the —10yr Treasury Rate decline during periods of market stress, a sign of foreign capital seeking safety in 10y Treasuries. We also see declines in the US$ as  headlines stress Emerging or Advanced economies as investment favorites.
