La moneta unica è stata declassata. Le banche centrali di tutto il mondo stanno correndo a comprare un altro bene rifugio.

L&#39;Euro non è più il secondo asset al mondo: ecco chi ha preso il suo posto

On Wednesday, July 2, U.S. markets closed mixed. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq reached record highs, buoyed by tech sector gains and a trade agreement between the U.S. and Vietnam that eased tariff concerns.
The Dow edged slightly lower. Nasdaq&#8217;s strength was led by Nvidia, Apple, and Tesla. Investors are now focused on Thursday&#8217;s non-farm payrolls report for signs of potential Fed rate cuts amid weak private payroll data and Centene&#8217;s withdrawn 2025 earnings forecast.
In economic data, U.S. private employers cut 33,000 jobs in June, the first drop since March 2023, raising expectations of a Fed rate cut. Economists now see Friday&#8217;s jobs report showing a slowdown to 110,000 gains. Markets have priced in a September cut and see a 25% chance of one in July, with a second cut expected by year-end.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors rose Wednesday, led by materials, tech, and energy, while health care and utilities declined.
The Dow fell 0.02% to 44,484.42, the S&amp;P 500 was up 0.47% at 6,227.42, and the Nasdaq gained 0.94% to 20,393.13.

Asia Markets Mixed, Europe Rises While Dollar Gains - Global Markets Today While US Slept

In January 2025, the U.S. dollar was charging toward its 2022 highs, riding a wave of investor optimism as Donald Trump returned to the White House. Wall Street was betting on tariffs and domestic tax cuts to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46146713/trump-dollar-outlook-tariffs-debt"> strengthen the greenback.</a>
However, just six months later, the narrative turned on its head.
The dollar has posted its worst first-half performance since 1991, with the U.S. Dollar Index—a widely followed gauge of dollar strength on Wall Street—down more than 10% year-to-date, hitting levels not seen since September 2021.
Now, the dollar's sharp decline is no longer just a trader's concern. 
It's starting to bite American tourists, who are discovering that their dream vacations abroad—from croissants in Paris to cocktails in Cancun—come with a noticeably higher price tag.
Here are five favorite destinations where U.S. travelers are feeling the squeeze this summer.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Paris: That Croissant Just Got A Lot Fancier</h2>
The euro – as tracked by the Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Currency Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXE#NYSE">FXE</a>) – has gained 14% against the dollar this year, sending the exchange rate above 1.18 euros per dollar. 
That means American travelers are now getting less than 0.83 euros per dollar at current exchange rates, as the dollar extended its losing streak to 10 consecutive sessions on July 1—a run not seen since 2003.
Whether it&#8217;s a rooftop view of the Eiffel Tower or a walk along the Seine, your dreamy Parisian holiday is now pricier. 
In May 2024, the average daily rate (ADR) in Paris was $193 when converted into dollars, according to ArRoi, a platform that tracks Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>) prices.
By May 2025, that figure climbed to $207. If July follows last year's seasonal spike when ADR hit a peak of $220, prices this month could push above $235, assuming similar trends.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">London: More Pounds, Fewer Dollars</h2>
The British pound – as tracked by the Invesco CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXB#NYSE">FXB</a>) – has gained 9% against the dollar in 2025, with one dollar now buying just 0.72 pounds.
London's ADRs on Airbnb jumped from $154 in May 2024 to $216 this year—a staggering 40% increase. 
With July 2024's ADR at $176, this summer could see London rentals reach $245, based on similar growth.
So if you're eyeing fish and chips by the Thames or a Harry Potter studio tour, prepare to pay London prices in full.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rio de Janeiro: Samba With A Stronger Real</h2>
The Brazilian real has appreciated by 13% against the dollar so far in 2025, making travel to Rio de Janeiro more expensive, even during the off-season.
Rio's average nightly Airbnb cost climbed to $75 in May 2025, up from $64 a year earlier. Food, transportation and tourist attractions are also eating into budgets as the dollar's value shrinks.
Brazil's natural beauty remains breathtaking, but your beachside caipirinha is now served with a stronger exchange rate.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cancun: Peso Packs A Punch</h2>
Even neighboring Mexico is less of a budget-friendly haven this year. While Cancun's cost per night has held steady at around $72, the Mexican peso's gains are making everything else—from margaritas to excursions—more expensive.
You're now getting just 18.70 pesos per dollar, a sharp 9% drop from the 20.70 pesos you would've received at the start of the year.
According to Numbeo, a typical restaurant dinner for two in Cancun now costs 1,000 pesos, or more than $50—and that's before you even order the margaritas.
Toss in tips, taxis and tourist excursions, and your wallet starts feeling the peso's punch.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bangkok: Still Budget—But No Longer A Steal</h2>
If Bangkok is on your list for a bachelor party or epic friends' getaway, get ready to spend a bit more this year.
Thailand remains a budget destination, but inflation and currency changes are closing that gap. 
The Thai baht has strengthened 7% in 2025, while Bangkok's average nightly Airbnb rate has surged from $39 in May 2024 to $51 this year.
If July follows last year's trend—when ADR hit $42—travelers could now be facing nightly rates near $60, a price they didn't even see during peak season in January.
Still cheaper than Western Europe, but not the bargain it once was.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h2>
What started as a dollar resurgence in early 2025 has turned into a historic slump, leaving U.S. tourists footing higher bills across nearly every major destination abroad. 
With the U.S. Dollar Index down over 10%—its worst start to a year since 1991—the greenback's weakness is hitting travelers where it hurts: their vacation budgets.
That dream summer trip abroad now comes with a steeper price tag, and the dollar simply doesn't go as far as it did just a year ago.

Asia Markets Mixed, Europe Edges Lower, Dollar Weakens On Rate Cut Bets - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Thursday, June 26, U.S. markets closed higher as easing geopolitical tensions and supportive economic data boosted hopes for Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. Major indexes advanced in a broad rally, edging the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq closer to record highs.
Bank stocks led gains after a regulatory proposal, while Fed officials signaled openness to easing. Mixed economic signals, including weak consumer spending and strong orders, fueled speculation about the timing of rate cuts.
According to economic data, the U.S. first-quarter GDP was revised down to -0.5% from -0.2%, driven by a larger trade deficit from weaker exports. However, May factory orders jumped 16.4% to $343.6 billion, the biggest monthly gain since 2014, far exceeding expectations. Weekly jobless claims dropped by 10,000 to 236,000, defying forecasts of no change and signaling ongoing strength in the labor market.

Global Markets Slide As Iran-Israel Conflict Heats Up, Oil Soars

The euro has lost its position as the second-largest reserve asset globally, with gold taking its place, the European Central Bank (ECB) stated in its 2025 annual review.
The top European financial institution took notice of a surge in central bank purchases and record-breaking prices of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold" rel="noreferrer noopener">the yellow metal</a>. At 20% of reserves, gold is slowly closing the gap on the U.S. dollar, which leads at 46%.
"Adjusted for inflation, real gold prices in 2024 surpassed their previous peak seen during the 1979 oil crisis. Meanwhile, gold reserves held by central banks stand at levels close to those last seen in the Bretton Woods era (36,000 tons), although they now account for a far smaller share of total gold supply," the ECB said in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/other-publications/ire/focus/html/ecb.irebox202506_01~f93400a4aa.en.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">review</a>.

The bank has stated the persistent rally into 2025, which has (for now) topped at $3,500 per ounce, driven by a mix of investor interest and persistent official sector demand.
The geopolitical shock of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 triggered a reassessment of reserve strategies among central banks. Concerns over sanctions and the weaponization of reserve currencies drove a shift toward gold, which has long been viewed as a neutral store of value.
This trend was notable among countries geopolitically aligned with or near China and Russia, many of which began increasing their gold holdings in late 2021.
In response, gold demand from the official sector surged to historic highs. Central banks added over <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43512109/gold-extends-records-as-central-banks-rush-to-buy-bullion-miners-eye-sixth-straight-winning-week" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 tons of gold</a> in each of the past three years—more than double the pace seen during the 2010s.
In 2024 alone, official sector purchases represented over 20% of global gold demand, effectively doubling the average share of 10% in the previous decade.
According to recent data from the World Gold Council, Türkiye, India, China, and Poland were the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/gold-focus/2025/05/indias-gold-market-update-gains-hold-despite-demand-pressure" rel="noreferrer noopener">largest gold buyers</a>, collectively adding over 600 tons since the end of 2021. Interestingly, while India recently became the fourth-largest global economy, Poland is its European counterpart and the only regional outperformer in 2024,<a target="_blank" href="https://think.ing.com/snaps/poland-cee-peers-2024/" rel="noreferrer noopener"> ING research</a> showed.
Boosted gold reserves could help these economies to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/05/45617358/gold-demand-holds-firm-as-dollar-confidence-wavers" rel="noreferrer noopener">safeguard against de-dollarization</a>, and hedge against inflation and political instability.
Despite gold's impressive climb, its dominance is still constrained by supply limitations and competition from other reserve assets. Notably, the global gold supply is expected to grow by just<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45828108/global-gold-supply-to-grow-1-in-2025-report-shows" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 1% in 2025</a>, while the U.S. dollar money supply (M2) has grown by<a target="_blank" href="https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_m2_money_supply_yoy" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 4.44%</a> in the last 12 months.
