“Financial markets have started to question the notion of US economic and market exceptionalism."
The US has long been economically “exceptional,” with its high growth rate, dominant technology companies, and role as the provider of the global safe asset and reserve currency. However, President Trump’s tariffs, a possible growth slowdown, and deeper institutional dysfunction could all endanger these aspects.
In the latest episode of Macro Bytes, the economics and politics podcast from Aberdeen, hosts Paul Diggle and Luke Bartholomew discuss whether the US is becoming a structurally less attractive destination for capital and whether the global dollar standard is truly over.
