True, the strength of a currency is ultimately about confidence.

But part of that is assurance of its future value.

In the case of US dollars, that is buttressed by the fact that there are a few things that ONLY US DOLLARS CAN BUY, most notably:

1) U.S. Bonds (The great bond market with its high interest rates as compared with risk)

2) OPEC oil

3) Payment of US Taxes

Yep, even the taxes have a role in structuring the value of our currency ... as long as the economy and our market are worth doing business in!

It’s a Melania tweet. Look at the birds on her hat!
