💥🚨MARKET SHOCK: RUSSIA’S DOLLAR U-TURN COULD CRUSH GOLD, SILVER & CRYPTO! 🇷🇺💵⚡
Yesterday, reports said Russia is thinking about moving back to the U.S. dollar as part of a big economic partnership with President Trump. If this happens, it could completely change the global market story of the last 3–4 years.
In recent years, Russia strongly pushed the “de-dollarization” trend — trying to reduce reliance on the USD. Other countries followed, cutting their dollar reserves and buying more gold. That helped weaken the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) and fueled the massive rally in gold and silver, as nations sold U.S. Treasuries and moved into precious metals.
But now, if Russia shifts back to a dollar-based settlement system, demand for USD could surge. And history shows one clear pattern: a strong dollar is usually bad for commodities and risk assets. When the dollar rises, metals often fall because they become more expensive globally.
Gold and silver may be hit hardest. The whole “currency debasement” narrative — which pushed metals higher — could fade. Equities and crypto might also feel pressure at first. But here’s the twist:
If a U.S.–Russia partnership increases energy supply, oil prices could fall. Lower energy costs mean lower inflation. That could make the Federal Reserve less aggressive, even if it doesn’t rush to cut rates. Markets don’t just love easy money — they love certainty.
Remember, Bitcoin surged in 2023 even while the Fed was hiking rates and doing quantitative tightening. Risk assets can perform well when uncertainty drops.
So short term? This could be bearish for metals, stocks, and crypto.
Mid to long term? If inflation falls and stability returns, stocks and crypto could recover strongly.
Gold and silver, however, might face a longer correction cycle if the dollar strengthens for years. 🌍💰⚡
