Major Financial Institution Reveals Shift in Preferred Payment Currencies by Foreign Exporters: Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Canadian Dollar, and Mexican Peso Over Dollars as Perceived in a Report
Headline: US Dollar Loses Luster Among Foreign Exporters Due to Volatility
Exporting Away from the Greenback
Major foreign exporters have reportedly expressed a decreased interest in receiving payment in US dollars due to the currency's ongoing volatility and depreciation, according to leading financial institution US Bank. Paula Comings, head of FX sales at the bank, shared her insight in a recent Bloomberg interview, indicating that nations have been seeking payment in alternatives such as the euro, Chinese renminbi, Mexican peso, and Canadian dollar [1][3].
Comings explained that the move is an attempt by exporters to minimize their exposure to the dollar's price fluctuations, which could negatively impact earnings when converted back to their native currencies. "Many clients who previously viewed the dollar as inviolable now seem willing to accept other currencies" [2], she said.
US Bank client examples include a Midwest lumber company that now utilizes euros for European hardwood imports, and a homeware retailer opting for yuan when buying goods from China. Both firms, which originally used dollars, have switched methods to limit their currency exposure [1].
The US Dollar Index (DXY) currently stands at 98.92, having risen 5% over the past five days but dipped nearly 9% year-to-date [1].
With total assets of $659.191 billion as of March 31, 2025, per Federal Reserve statistics, US Bank continues to be a dominant force in the financial industry [1].
