Japan & South Korea Are Selling U.S. Dollars — What Happens Next?

Japan and South Korea are making moves in the currency markets that could have major implications for the U.S. dollar, Asian economies, global trade, and financial markets. What is driving these dollar sales, and could they signal a bigger shift in the global economy?

In this episode, we examine Japan’s currency strategy, South Korea’s dollar holdings, U.S. Treasury securities, foreign exchange markets, dollar demand, Asian central banks, and the future of the U.S. dollar. We also explore what a sustained dollar sell-off could mean for inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, investors, and the global financial system.

Is this simply normal currency management—or could it be part of a broader change in how major economies manage their dollar reserves?
