The economic impact of US President Donald Trump’s tariffs has led to a rethink over the US dollar. After the “Liberation Day” tariffs were announced on April 2, global investors sold both US equities and the dollar, a rare event that raises concerns about the credibility of US Treasuries and the dollar itself. Moody’s downgrade of the US credit rating and the sharp appreciation of certain currencies, particularly the Taiwan dollar, against the greenback have further intensified the situation.

Are we entering a period of de-dollarization? What are the implications for the regions' central banks, corporations and financial institutions – many of which are major holders of US Treasuries? And which Asian currencies could outperform following this paradigm shift? Stephen Chiu, chief Asia FX and rates strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence discusses these issues with John Lee on the Asia Centric podcast.
