BRICS: Scotiabank Says US Dollar To Fall in 2024

Scotiabank has forecasted a downturn for the US Dollar in 2024, influenced by the strengthening of the BRICS alliance and ongoing global inflation trends. Over the past year, the BRICS countries have seen an increase in their economic significance, partly due to Western sanctions which have accelerated their de-dollarization efforts. These developments are expected to further diminish the value of the US Dollar, particularly in its exchange rates against other major global currencies. Scotiabank’s analysis suggests that the concerted efforts of the BRICS nations to reduce dependency on the US Dollar, combined with inflationary pressures, will contribute to the dollar’s depreciation in the upcoming year.
