Citi Warns The Dollar Might Lose 20% In 2021, Goldman Calls It The Worst Performing Asset In 2021

Nov 17, 2020

The dollar is about to go through a rapid decline in purchasing power according to Citi but they're not alone a lot of the Wall Street banks have turned bearish on the Dollar.

Goldman expects the dollar will be broken from it's safe-haven status as the world economy begins to leave America behind and investment dollars begin the mass exodus from the dollar into either emerging markets or currencies as they tend to see gains in an American down, world up situation.

The dollar has already lost 11% of it's value from the march highs and an interesting thing to see will be what happens to gold?

 I know bank of America was calling $3,000 an ounce gold and people thought they were blowing smoke but maybe they might have some inside knowledge and knew the great debasement is about to show up in a major way.

If the dollar loses 20% of it's value in 2021 as Citi is predicting it's likely we see even Americans begin to look for ways to protect their savings.

When the Lira went through some currency issues recently and hyperinflation the citizens were selling their homes to buy gold and converting their entire savings into gold.
