FOREIGN SAFE ASSET DEMAND AND THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This paper links the U.S. dollar's exchange rate to the convenience yield foreign investors receive from holding U.S. safe assets, particularly Treasuries. They show that a widening Treasury basis, indicating a higher convenience yield for foreign investors, coincides with dollar appreciation, supporting the U.S.'s unique role as a safe asset provider and the dollar's status as a reserve currency.
