Trump Gets His Wish: The US Dollar Weakens—But Wall Street’s Already Placing Bets Against It

The dollar’s slump hits a three-month low as Trump’s weak-currency dreams materialize—just in time for traders to front-run the inevitable policy reversal.

Market whispers suggest even the Fed’s dot-plot won’t save the greenback from becoming political collateral.

Funny how ’America First’ somehow always ends with hedge funds cashing in first.

Weak Dollar Analysis: Now What?

The US dollar has been falling relentlessly since Trump assumed the role of the 47th US president. His scathing tariff policies have sparked trade war narratives, which have added more pressure to the value of the US dollar. In this wake, several countries have once again revived the de-dollarization agenda, rummaging through alternatives to safeguard their economies.

At the same time, the US dollar is projected to fall further as Trump’s policies continue to weaken the greenback.

As stated by Kamakshya Trivedi of Goldman Sachs.

Furthermore, analysts are also speculating how Trump could benefit from an economic recession.

In a way, President Trump may actually "want" a recession.

A recession achieves MOST of Trump’s economic goals at once:

1. Lower US inflation

3. Lower trade deficit (through tariffs)
4. Fed interest rate cuts
5. Lower oil prices
