Gold Replaces Dollar as DXY Crashes and Global Shift Accelerates

For decades, global turmoil meant a flight to safety in U.S. Treasuries. Not anymore. Today, foreign governments are dumping Treasuries, the dollar index is crashing (down 9% YTD and nearly 4% since April 2), and gold is hitting all-time highs.

Taylor Kenney of ITM Trading says the dollar isn’t just weakening—it’s being abandoned. “Once America’s greatest strength, the dollar is now its greatest risk,” she warns.

And the numbers back her up:

  • The U.S. now spends over $1 trillion annually on interest alone

  • Treasury demand is collapsing, forcing yields to rise even during uncertainty

  • The dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power since 1913—and 25% of what was left in just the past five years

Meanwhile, central banks aren’t guessing—they’ve been accumulating trillions of dollars worth of gold in preparation for a new monetary system.

Not a hedge. A reset.
