"The US dollar's independence is becoming a new risk of the world economy." The Japan Economic News reported on the 7th that the appreciation of the US dollar will exacerbate the inflation of emerging market countries and promote the risk of deceleration of the world economy. It is reported that the appreciation of the US dollar is conducive to inhibiting inflation for the United States, but the U.S. dollar monopoly is affected by the world economy that is plagued by the higher resource prices. Most of the global trade transactions are settled in the US dollar. The appreciation of the US dollar will lead to the decline in the purchasing power of other currencies and exacerbate inflation in various countries. In countries that lack resources, the rise in resource prices will lead to the expansion of the trade deficit and easily exacerbate the depreciation of the currency of the country. At the same time, the depreciation of the currency in emerging market countries will increase the burden of repayment of the US dollar valuation debt.
