Investors Remain Exposed to Potential Dollar Losses, Bank for International Settlements Says

Investors outside the U.S. remain exposed to the risk of losses stemming from possible falls in the dollar, said Hyun-Song Shin, economic advisor and head of the monetary and economic department at the Bank for International Settlements.

President Trump’s announcement of sweeping tariffs in April and an unexpected depreciation in the dollar prompted investors to seek more protection against the risk of further declines in the currency, according to the BIS Quarterly Review.
