The U.S. Dollar Index extends its slide to the weakest level since Sept. 18, reinforcing investor demand for hard assets and alternative stores of value.

Summary
  • The U.S. Dollar Index has fallen about 1.5% this month, trading at its lowest level since Sept. 18 after its weakest full‑year performance since 2017.​
  • Analysts at The Kobeissi Letter say renewed dollar weakness is steering investors toward hard assets and alternatives as confidence in fiat erodes.
  • The sustained decline has raised questions over a broader dollar downtrend and increased interest in assets like gold and Bitcoin as potential value stores.

The U.S. dollar continued its decline this month, with the U.S. Dollar Index falling 1.5% to trade at its lowest level since Sept. 18, according to market data.

Dollar demand brings uncertainty to crypto

The weakness follows the dollar’s poorest annual performance since 2017, according to financial analysts tracking currency movements.

The Kobeissi Letter, a financial markets publication, stated that the dollar’s renewed weakness has reinforced demand for hard assets and alternative stores of value amid declining confidence in fiat currencies.

“The market’s message is consistent: own assets or be left behind,” the publication wrote in its analysis.

The U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of major currencies, has raised questions among market observers about whether the currency has entered a broader downtrend.

Financial analysts have noted increased investor interest in alternative stores of value as the dollar’s weakness persists, according to market reports.

Huawei goes public with chip ambitions, boosting China’s tech autonomy post-Nvidia

The post Huawei goes public with chip ambitions, boosting China’s tech autonomy post-Nvidia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Huawei publicly revealed its full chip roadmap on Thursday during its annual Connect conference in Shanghai, confirming it would begin releasing some of the world’s most powerful computing systems in a push to reduce China’s reliance on Nvidia and other foreign chipmakers, according to Reuters. Eric Xu, Huawei’s rotating chairman, disclosed that the company had developed its own high-bandwidth memory, a technology previously led by Samsung and SK Hynix. Xu said, “We will follow a 1-year release cycle and double compute with each release,” making it clear Huawei now intends to release next-gen chips and hardware annually with increased processing capabilities. The announcement came just days before U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet on Friday, following trade talks between both countries earlier in the week. The move is widely seen as an attempt by Beijing to project confidence in its tech ecosystem as U.S.-China tensions continue to grow. Huawei releases full schedule for Ascend, Kunpeng chips, and computing clusters Huawei detailed the timeline for its AI chip series Ascend, starting with the 910C, which was released earlier this year. The Ascend 950 will launch in 2026 with two variants. The 960 will follow in 2027, and the 970 is scheduled for 2028. Huawei also confirmed its Kunpeng server chips will receive updates in 2026 and 2028. China’s chip war with the U.S. escalated this week as Nvidia was accused of violating China’s anti-monopoly law, and several large Chinese tech firms were ordered to cancel Nvidia AI chip orders. Financial Times reported that government regulators had also instructed distributors to stop placing new Nvidia orders. One executive in China’s chip distribution industry said his company was told verbally to stop buying Nvidia chips and was only allowed to sell current inventory. That executive declined…
