US Dollar Faces Continued Pressure as Investors Rethink Trump-Era Policies
The US dollar's turbulence intensifies as the DXY index sinks to 97.1, marking a 9.6% annual decline. Geopolitical risks from escalating trade wars and the Greenland diplomatic push compound currency weakness.
Commodities like gold and silver surge as capital flees dollar-denominated assets. April 2025's Liberation Day tariffs triggered structural damage, with the greenback failing to reclaim the psychologically critical 100 level for nine months.
'Trump's policies created volatility - now we're seeing structural erosion,' notes Principal Asset Management's Seema Shah. The currency's instability coincides with crypto assets gaining traction as alternative stores of value.
