The US dollar is predicted to depreciate another 10% next year, after already depreciating 11% in the first half of 2025.
But what does it mean for you?
Here’s what you should know:
The U.S. dollar just had its worst first half of a year since 1973, losing 11% of its value.
Morgan Stanley says it could drop another 10% by the end of 2026.
Why?
Slower U.S. growth, falling interest rates, and foreign investors dumping dollar assets.
The best-case scenario?
The Fed gets inflation under control, trade deals stabilize things, and the dollar only loses another 5-7% instead of 10%. Your purchasing power shrinks, but not catastrophically.
The worst-case scenario?
The dollar keeps falling 10% year after year. Your $100,000 savings becomes worth $70,000 in real purchasing power within three years. Foreign investors dump U.S. assets. Interest rates spike to attract them back. Recession follows
