Dollar Reserve Currency Outlook

GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC · 2026-08-07 · Importance 9 · Surprise 6

Goldman Sachs said U.S. support for potential Japanese yen intervention would not threaten the dollar’s status as the dominant reserve currency. The issue concerns Japan’s yen-support measures and their possible effects on volatility in U.S. Treasury markets. Goldman’s analysis rejects the view that such support would materially undermine confidence in dollar reserves. Its reasoning assumes the United States would not obstruct future Treasury sales.
