How come Wall Street can be at record highs in the midst of a world wide pandemic?

Reasons:
Massive money printing $$$
Super low interest rate (almost 0% - Negative in Europe!)

And yes, US shares grossly over-valued! But the bubble may continue to grow until it burst (finally)!

Why is the US dollar still holding its value despite the massive money printing?

If other countries do that, their currency will have devalued by a lot.

Will the US dollar fall massively one day finally?

Why is the US dollar still holding its value despite the massive money printing?

There’s been a U.S. dollar monetary expansion, true, but “massive” is a loaded term.

And the answer is simple: demand for safe assets is also greater, the velocity of money is lower, and there’s tremendous slack in the real economy, with idle resources. Haven’t you learned anything yet about how money works? We’ve seen this movie many times!

If other countries do that, their currency will have devalued by a lot.

You mean like Japan, the world’s third largest national economy?

Will the US dollar fall massively one day finally?

Probably not. Not likely within a compressed period of time, anyway. Central banks including the U.S. Federal Reserve know how to manage money supplies against variable demand pretty well.

We will see, but we will definitely see a big crash of the DOW first to flush out all novice players like you

Uncle you have been telling us the same story since 2018.

10 years later when DOW reaches 50k, you will still be singing the same tune.

As someone mention here, the key is "USD is the world's only Reserve Currency".

To be the World's only Reserve Currency, a country like USA must ensure that:

- It is the only strongest military super-power in the world (which is why US targeted USSR with cold war, and China now!)

- It is the only strongest and biggest economy in the world (which is why US targeted USSR with cold war, targeted Japan with Plaza Accord when Japan started to grow too big, and now China!)

- Products in the world bought/sold between countries are mainly transacted in USD (which is why US invaded Iraq when Iraq started selling their Oil in other currency and despising USD and encouraging other countries especially OPEC to do so!)

The day USD is no longer the World's ONLY Reserve Currency and Countries like China, Japan, SK, etc. refused to buy USD T-bills and started massively selling their holdings you will see USD crash to become banana money!

And we are now seeing US trying hard to prevent the above from happening with all their lies and despicable under-handed tactics to rally other countries to target China and Chinese companies and China's economy and trade war in an attempt to crash China's economy and also Iran as well (from transacting their oil NOT in USD)!

BBCWatcher,

Please don't lie that
There’s been a U.S. dollar monetary expansion, true, but “massive” is a loaded term.

This is the evidence to prove that you are lying:

From this chart, you can see that USD money supply increases exponentially and massively from 1996 (not to mention the steep jump in 2020)!

As I have said before, why are people believing all these lies from people who have "personal interest" in USA and will do anything to talk up USA and USA stocks?

This is the reason why it is always better to have multipolar world where no single country is allowed dominate the world, but too bad the world and countries all over the world have allowed this to happen, why is why we are facing war threat now.

As long as most of the countries around the world collaborate and stand together, then USA will never dare to start a war because USA can invade and win any single country in the world but it cannot fight most of the other countries in the world. It is now time to stop USA from dominating the world and stop allowing USA to arbitrarily invade any countries as had happened before (like Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc)!

and which nation alliance are you talking about? national interest is complex, collective interest is way more complicated.

If the past have shown that no one is willing to stand up till significant dmg is done, why will you think we as human race will wise up this time?

Chris, us$ and us economy is held up by threats and believes, as long as US inflation holds, nothing big will happen.

to be honest, the covid19 is one of the biggest possible impact and we will only know the true impact 20-30 years down the road for us$ dominance

Remember the Asian financial crisis?
