Why “safe assets” may not exist anymore
"An interesting point comes by way of veteran fixed income market watcher, Marc Ostwald, of ADM Investor Services, in his latest quarterly publication "Ghost in the Machine". It caught my eye because of how it aligns with my own thesis about the end of dollar neutrality"

Why the current crisis represents the end of the neutral dollar era.
https://the-blindspot.com/the-end-of-dollar-neutrality-and-what-it-means-for-funding-markets/
What she is arguing is that the dollar era was actually defined by the neutrality of the Eurodollar. Even as the US remained highly politicized, the Eurodollar ironically became the currency/medium of exchange of choice in enemy/hostile states.
This paradox was reconciled by the neoliberal view that the infiltration of the dollar into closed-market authoritarian states would help them open up by undermining authorities’ grip on their controls.
And this did indeed happen. Most of the USSR became dependent/addicted to transacting with the offshore dollar - including at the highest official levels. And this did pave the way for perestroika, trade with the west and even privatisation.
" Dollar Zombies"
What’s striking is how diametrically opposed this 80s neoliberal policy of letting your enemies use your currency irrespective of their principles or values is to today’s policy of not letting your enemies touch your currency at any cost.
What we have now is a total reversal of affairs. Where the West is closing up its economy and access to its currency and economy and being ideologically puritanical, while Russia is pushing towards a more laissez faire model.
China is also opening itself up, but unlike Russia is applying a conditions based approach which means the yuan is unlikely to fill the void left in the international financial system for a truly neutral exchange token by the politicization of the dollar.
How the new Bretton woods system will be a system of “friend shoring”. How ESG will become ESGA - with A for ally.
