Citibank Already Starting To Ditch The Dollar, Markets Are Now Freaking Out

Citibank Already Starting To Ditch The Dollar, Markets Are Now Freaking Out What happens when 90% of the American population finds out that years of savings and investment into 401 k retirement has disappeared? Calls to move away from relying on the dollar for trade are already growing. More and more countries; from Brazil to Southeast Asian nations; are calling for trade to be carried out in other currencies. The United States dollar has been king in global trade for decades; not just because America is the world’s largest economy, but also because oil is priced in the greenback.
