What’s behind the euro’s comeback against the US dollar<\/h2>\n

The common currency took a battering in 2022, falling below parity with the US dollar as an energy crisis gripped Europe. The euro has now bounced back, …<\/strong><\/p>\n

February 9, 2023<\/p>\n

The euro has recouped much of the\u00a0losses it suffered against the US dollar in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the energy crisis that it unleashed.<\/p>\n

One euro is now worth $1.07, up about 13% from September last year when it sank to around $0.95, a 20-year-low.<\/p>\n

The resurgence of the\u00a0common currency<\/a>\u00a0used by 20 countries in Europe\u00a0has been spurred by a drop in energy prices, easing recession fears in the eurozone<\/a> and the\u00a0European Central Bank (ECB), which continues to aggressively hike interest rates.<\/p>\n

The euro’s rebound has also been aided by a weakening dollar as the US Federal Reserve slows its pace of monetary tightening in response to cooling inflation.<\/p>\n

“Market expectations around the severity of the crisis in Europe just three months ago were just too extreme\u2026too many speculators were betting on a real bad crisis in Europe stemming from the Ukraine energy war,” Viraj Patel, a foreign exchange analyst at Vanda Research, told DW. “That just has not materialized in that way.” …<\/p>\n

The euro’s rise in recent months has a lot to do with a milder winter in Europe. Warmer than normal weather, aided by an impressive effort in cutting gas consumption, has not only eased concerns around blackouts and energy rationing but also reined in natural gas prices. https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/whats-behind-the-euros-comeback-against-the-us-dollar\/a-64648243<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, the milder winter in Europe this year was also a factor, so Europe did have enough energy reserves to prevent massive deaths from freezing that some thought could occur because of sanctions against Russia.<\/p>\n

That said, markets often do overreact, but yes, there will be a bad crisis in Europe.<\/p>\n

At risk of repeat, the late Pastor General of the old Worldwide Church of God, Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a><\/span>, had a view about banking matters and European unity. Here is something he said in a sermon on July 7, 1984:<\/p>\n

And I can see now, the event that is going to trigger the formation of the reunification in Europe<\/strong>; the resurrection of the medieval Holy Roman Empire that we\u2019ve been looking forward to that is prophesied to come\u2026<\/p>\n

But I believe that some event is going to happen suddenly just like out a blue sky that is going to shock the whole world and is going to cause the nations in Europe to realize they must unite! \u2026 Well now I think I can see what may be the very event that is going to trigger\u2026that is the economic situation in the world<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n

The whole banking structure in the United States is a network all jointed together. But not only that, one nation has to deal with other nations and imports and exports. And so they have to have a means of transforming money from one nation to another. And so the banking structure is international and interwoven\u2026<\/p>\n

Now when the financial structure breaks down, all civilization is going to break down\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, an economic or banking crisis is what Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a><\/span> concluded would drive Europe to unite.<\/p>\n

Notice something somewhat consistent with that:<\/p>\n

February 9, 2023<\/p>\n

What amazes me is how obtuse the elites in Europe are. None seem to be able to envision a future where a declining U.S. economic empire drags Europeans down. https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2023-02-09\/great-game-divisiveness-draws-nearer-end<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We are not to that point yet that enough in Europe will more clearly see. Yet, various crises will arise in Europe and it will change (cf. Revelation 17:12-13). And Europe will blame the USA for various real and perceived harms.<\/p>\n

There are also factors affecting the USA dollar as the article in Deutsche Welle<\/em> pointed to.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, consider some of the following:<\/p>\n

Much More Pain To Come As The World Moves Away From The US Dollar As The Debt Clock Proves It Is Worthless Against Gold, Silver And Oil While ‘The Fed’ Proves It NEEDS Another 9\/11<\/h2>\n

February 9, 2023<\/p>\n

When credit is cheap and plentiful, individuals and businesses increase their borrowing to buy assets they otherwise couldn\u2019t afford. As cheap credit flows into various assets, it balloons their prices in kind. …<\/p>\n

When credit is tight, the opposite happens. Borrowing is reserved for activities that promise a high rate of return; one that exceeds the high rate of interest. This has the effect of deflating the price of financial assets. …<\/p>\n

Congress … discovered it could spend printing press money without consequences. These takeaways couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. …<\/p>\n

What gives?<\/p>\n

The U.S. economy appears to be slipping and sliding into a recession. Consumers are tapped out. They\u2019ve maxed out their credit cards. Technology workers are getting massively RIFed. The depth and intensity of the economic contraction will test the Fed\u2019s courage to act. https:\/\/allnewspipeline.com\/Much_More_Pain_To_Come.php<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is pressure on the USA dollar–and rising USA spending, which increases its debts, will be a factor in its prophesied fall (c.f. Habakkuk 2:6-8).<\/p>\n

As far as the headline mentioning precious metals goes, nations in Europe and Asia are increasing their gold reserves and many are planning on the day that the USA dollar is dethroned as the world’s primary reserve currency.<\/p>\n

Some think that the new reserve currency will be the Euro.<\/p>\n

Could the Euro surpass the US dollar as the world’s primary reserve currency?<\/p>\n

Some suspect it might:<\/p>\n

Euro Challenges USDollar As Global Currency<\/h2>\n

January 15, 2022<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs this week predicted that the Eurozone would grow at a faster pace than the U.S. in 2022,<\/strong> projecting a growth rate of 4.4 percent for EU and only 3.5 percent for U.S. GDP.\u00a0The latest World Bank forecast<\/a>, also from January, still sees the U.S. ahead, if only by a paper-thin margin of 0.1 percent, while the new IMF outlook is yet to be released.<\/p>\n

While the jury is still out on who will trump who for economic growth this year, Statista’s Katharina Buchholz notes that <\/a>there are other indicators that already show the Eurozone\u2019s growing economic prowess and international importance<\/strong>. The value of global payment transactions in Euro has been inching up to that of the U.S. dollar,\u00a0data from the Swift international payment network shows,<\/a>\u00a0hinting at increased activity around the currency. In October 2020, Euro transaction value even slid ahead of the U.S. dollar, and while that didn\u2019t last long, the gap between the two currencies on the world stage has become considerable smaller since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Potential reasons for this include the\u00a0EU\u2019s coordinated efforts to prop up its economy<\/a>\u00a0in the current crisis and its continued zero-interest fiscal policy. Faith in the U.S. economy and its growth is meanwhile shaky<\/strong>,\u00a0according to CNBC<\/a>, as uncertainty around President Joe Biden\u2019s \u201cBuilt Back Better\u201d economic package continues.\u00a0 https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/euro-challenges-usdollar-global-currency<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When I did a search for “reserve currency’ pictures in Pixabay once, on its first page, ALL of the pictures were of either US dollars or Euros, with the photo at the beginning of this post showing both.<\/p>\n

Proportionally, the world still primarily uses the US dollar as its primary reserve currency.<\/p>\n

But, because of US sanctions, increasing US debt and money supply increases, and the general strength of the European economy, more are looking towards the Euro as the US dollar replacement.<\/p>\n

The USA has been gambling with its currency for many years.<\/p>\n

Its leaders basically think that they can continue to get away with it.<\/p>\n

But one day they will not (cf. Habakkuk 2:6-8).<\/p>\n

What about Europe?<\/p>\n

Now, while it is true that Europe is reeling from many issues, Europe has NOT produced as many trillions of Euros of debt that the USA has with its dollar. Plus, several of the nations there have been accumulating and\/or repatriating gold.<\/p>\n

Understand that the Bible shows that the time will come when Europe will prosper mightily and be involved with gold (cf. Revelation 18).<\/p>\n

Now, consider a story, I have reported here before:<\/p>\n

There once was a movie that had two men camping outdoors. Suddenly, one man yells, \u201cRun, a bear!\u201d The other man yells back, \u201cYou can\u2019t outrun a bear.\u201d The first man responded with, \u201cTrue, but all I have to do is to outrun you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The implication is that the first man only needed to be better runner than the second man, which presumably the bear would consider to be weaker, and then catch and destroy. This would, supposedly, allow the first man to survive.<\/p>\n

From an economic perspective, the story basically is that the debt and economic situation in Europe does not need to be perfect, only perceived to better (or at least similar) than that of the USA to someday surpass it.<\/p>\n

While the Bible shows that gold and silver will one day be considered worse than useless (cf. Ezekiel 7: 19), it also shows that it will have value after the USA is defeated (cf. Daniel 11:39-43).<\/p>\n

That being said, yes the USA dollar will collapse one day–and some type of European-backed currency, possibly the Euro or perhaps some type of international basket of currencies will replace the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.<\/p>\n

Here is something from my book Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Since many are now questioning the role of the US\u00a0dollar as the world\u2019s reserve currency, more are looking into other currencies as well as gold. Gold will set records in US dollar terms. In 2017, I also published that in my book related to Donald Trump, and it did in July and August in 2020. [i]<\/a><\/p>\n

It has been proposed that various nations around the world are already in the process of accumulating gold to one day overthrow the U.S. dollar\u2014and that the \u201cU.S. is unprepared for this strategic alternative to dollar dominance.\u201d[ii]<\/a><\/p>\n

When the U.S.\u00a0dollar totally collapses people all around the world will consider that even if the Euro (or something similar)\u00a0is strong, having a more gold-backed currency would be safer.<\/p>\n

The collapse of the U.S.A. dollar will shake a lot of the world\u2019s confidence in non-gold backed currencies.<\/p>\n

The Europeans do not have to have a perfect currency, only one that is perceived to be in better shape than the U.S.A. dollar.<\/p>\n

Having the European power acquiring more gold\u00a0to back the Euro or possibly another future European currency (that might potentially replace the Euro or even a basket of currencies) may greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the globe, even if the backing is only implied.<\/p>\n

The debt accumulation policies of the Obama-Biden and the Trump-Pence Administrations, which were a massive acceleration of the previous policies of the Bush Administration, look like they will be continued by a Biden-Harris Administration.<\/p>\n

The increases in America\u2019s debt are heading the world into the time when something other than the U.S. dollar will be valued as its reserve currency.<\/p>\n

A Biden-Harris Administration would need to make massive changes to possibly prevent this.<\/p>\n

The U.S.A. and its dollar are at serious risk.<\/p>\n

[ii]<\/a> Rickards J. Axis of Gold. The Daily Reckoning, December 20, 2016<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The US dollar will one day be worth no more than its scrap or burning value, other than perhaps as a collector’s novelty.<\/p>\n

As far as gold as a partial replacement for the US dollar, the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel:<\/p>\n

Gold Backed Currency to Replace the US Dollar?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

China introduced something that was called the gold-petro-yuan back in 2018. Since then, the global share of US-dollar-dominated exchange reserves have dropped to 59.0%. In April 2021, China became the first major economy to unleash a Central Bank Digital Currency. China also has given its banks permission to import large amounts of gold. Is China preparing for a gold-backed yuan to push aside the US dollar or to help it survive a US dollar cataclysm? Are other nations preparing to push the US dollar aside? Do Europeans seem to have the most gold? Are Europeans prophesied to gain more gold? Is the US debt trajectory sustainable per Fed Chairman Jerome Powell? Does the Bible warn of the end coming to the highly indebted in Habakkuk 2:6-8? Why does it looked like a gold-backed currency will replace the US dollar? Will the US dollar, ultimately, become essentially worthless? Dr Thiel addresses these issues and more.<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to our video: Gold Backed Currency to Replace the US Dollar?<\/a><\/p>\n

The US dollar will collapse a few years before the end of that 6,000 years and Jesus returns.<\/p>\n

This would suggest prior to 2028 (watch Is the US prophesied to be Destroyed by 2028<\/a>) or perhaps as late as 2030.<\/p>\n

A collapse of US dollar is coming.<\/p>\n

Neither its elected political leaders or its Federal Reserve will not stop that.<\/p>\n

There will be a new totalitarian world order coming (cf. Revelation 13) and it will not be one dominated by the Anglo-Americans.<\/p>\n

If you think that the USA and its dollar will continue to be number 1 and claim to believe the Bible, please consider biblical prophecies such as Daniel 11:39; Habakkuk 2:6-8; Isaiah 10:5-11 (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses<\/a><\/span> and\/or watch Do these 7 prophesies point to the end of the USA?<\/a>).<\/p>\n
