By propping up the yen, the U.S. and Japan are actually admitting dollar dominance isn't what it used to be, top economist warns | Fortune

"When this message sinks in, other countries will redouble their search for more attractive, readily usable alternatives."

• The U.S. and Japan's recent currency intervention to support the yen signals a potential weakening of the dollar's global dominance, according to economist Barry Eichengreen.
• The intervention methods, avoiding direct sales of Treasuries, highlight concerns about rising yields and the U.S.'s ability to absorb its large budget deficit and private debt issuance.
• While some see this as a move towards alternatives like gold, others, like Goldman Sachs, argue it demonstrates the dollar's continued strength and unique infrastructure.
