Trump’s Tariffs Trigger Global Rush to Abandon U.S. Dollar
The U.S. dollar faces mounting pressure as global markets react to Trump’s tariffs on imports. The U.S. Dollar Index has plummeted to its lowest levels since the 2024 election, shedding nearly 6% since early 2025. This decline signals a broader shift away from dollar dominance in trade and finance.
Reciprocal tariffs have accelerated the dollar’s slide against major currencies, with the index breaching 102 points twice last week. market sentiment suggests a growing preference for alternative reserve assets, including cryptocurrencies, as hedges against dollar volatility.
