Foreign exporters are reportedly moving away from US dollar transactions due to the currency’s recent volatility, according to US Bank. Paula Comings, head of FX sales at US Bank, notes that exporters now prefer payments in euros, Chinese renminbi, Mexican pesos, and Canadian dollars to limit exposure to dollar fluctuations. For instance, a Midwest lumber company now uses euros for European imports, while a homeware retailer plans yuan payments for Chinese goods. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has seen a 5% rise in five days but remains down nearly 9% year-to-date. US Bank, with $659.191 billion in assets, highlights this shift as a response to global currency instability.
