Franklin CIO: It will take several decades for alternative assets to the US dollar to emerge
The dominance of the US dollar has always been a topic of concern, but Franklin Templeton believes that the dollar will remain the preferred currency. The Chief Investment Officer of the company's fixed income department, Sonal Desai, wrote in a report that the dollar's status is supported by three main pillars: the size of the world's largest economy, the depth of the market, and its institutional credibility.
Sonal Desai pointed out that there are currently no reliable alternative assets, and it will take decades to establish the institutional infrastructure needed to support such a currency. The debate over the dollar's dominance has intensified, as Trump's erratic trade, geopolitical, and fiscal policies have weakened the appeal of US assets. Some analysts believe that the euro and gold are likely to become preferred reserve assets.
