How the Dollar and Yuan Are Decoupling in Trade

In episode 52 of The Trade Deficit Podcast, Lucas and Luna examine the growing disconnect between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan in international trade settlements. With the dollar index slipping to 99.52 and the yuan weakening past 6.76 per dollar, a quiet shift is underway: more trade is being invoiced in yuan, bypassing the dollar system. The hosts explain why this matters for the U.S. trade deficit, how it affects import prices, and what recent data from China's tech sector reveals about cracks in the old financial order. They also touch on the ECB's surprise rate hike and its ripple effects on global trade flows.
