Abstract:Stephen Roach, a senior researcher at Yale University, is anxious that the constantly changing global landscape and the huge budget deficit of the United States would lead to a collapse in USD.
WikiFX News (20 June) - Stephen Roach, a senior researcher at Yale University, is anxious that the constantly changing global landscape and the huge budget deficit of the United States would lead to a collapse in USD.
Roach believes that the US economy has been constantly plagued by severe macro-imbalance factors, namely, a very low domestic savings rate and a long-term current account deficit. He believes that USD will fall sharply and estimates that USD will fall against other major currencies by 35%.
According to Roach, the national saving rate may be greater than the negative growth in the economic history of the United States or any major economies. He believes that the United States is moving away from globalization and devoting itself to isolating America from the rest of the world, which is a deadly combination.
Roach believes that the collapse in USD is almost inevitable, and it is a risk that investors should not ignore. “in general, the collapse of USD would exert a negative influence on US financial assets.” he said. “This shows that as we import more expensive foreign commodities from overseas, there might be higher inflation, which would bring a negative impact on interest rates.”
The picture shows the trend of the pound against the dollar on June 17.

What has happened to the U.S. dollar in 2025, and what can we expect in 2026?

The US Dollar Index (DXY) remains steady near 98.00, supported by a mix of technical recovery and external currency weakness. While markets await definitive signals on the Fed's 2026 cutting cycle, technical breakdowns in major peers are driving price action.

The divergence between Federal Reserve guidance and market pricing is widening as traders position for 2026, setting the stage for significant volatility in the US Dollar. While the Fed’s latest dot plot conservatively suggests a single 25-basis-point rate cut in 2026, major financial institutions—including Goldman Sachs and Citi—are pricing in a more aggressive easing cycle of 50 to 75 basis points.

The market capitalization of the six largest US banks surged by approximately $600 billion in 2025, driven by a dual tailwind of financial deregulation and a resurgence in investment banking. This rally has widened the valuation divergence between American lenders and their European counterparts, reinforcing a theme of US financial exceptionalism that continues to influence global capital flows.
