The U.S. dollar has experienced a drastic devaluation, losing 98.5% of its value against gold since 1971. In comparison, the euro and Japanese yen have lost 98.3% and 96.7%, respectively, while the Swiss franc has decreased by 93.4%. In a related development, the Turkish lira is projected to plunge to 50 against the U.S. dollar next week, which could trigger a ripple effect across emerging market currencies, the bond market, and the Nasdaq. The Turkish lira has lost approximately 97% of its value against the U.S. dollar since the Great Financial Crisis in 2008. Additionally, the U.S. dollar is currently considered overvalued, with the Federal Reserve's Real Trade-Weighted U.S. Dollar Index at its highest level in 40 years, reminiscent of the conditions that led to the Plaza Accord among G-5 nations aimed at depreciating the dollar's value.
