That's pretty remarkable when you think about all the noise that we've had.
So I think the lesson that I draw from that is the hurdle for the dollar to lose reserve currency status, for there to be serious dollar debasement, it's pretty high.
But again, for Sweden, this is a really big opportunity for
Sweden traditionally has always been considered kind of a high beta currency.
It's super volatile.
You didn't really want to hold it because it banged around all over the place on news.
Most recently, so over the course of the last six, nine months, the Swedish krona has started trading like the Swiss franc, so like a safe haven currency.
So when global uncertainty goes up, for example, Liberation Day tariffs, Swedish krona actually does well.
So I would put the Swedish krona in the same bucket as gold, silver, platinum, you name it.
It is this safe asset.
What exactly is going on with dollar debasement, I think, is a separate question.
Incidentally, the dollar is up today because the FOMC minutes talked about hikes, and that surprised the market.
So I think there's clearly a flight to safety.
What exactly people are fleeing from isn't quite clear yet.
Yeah.
Well, we know that in the United States, fiscal policy is kind of out of control.
Yeah.
Debt is on a trajectory that is not good at all.
Deficits are out of control.
The thing is, that's true for many other countries too.
