Dollar Hits 4-Year Low: Trump's Policies, Geopolitics Fuel Decline
- •The US Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen 3% against major currencies in the last week and 10% since 2025, reaching a 4-year low.
- •Donald Trump's trade policies, including tariff announcements, and his desire for a weak dollar to boost exports are key factors.
- •Geopolitical tensions, such as the US-Europe 'Greenland' dispute, and uncertain government policies contribute to market instability.
- •Investors are shifting from the dollar to gold, Euro, Pound, and emerging market currencies, with gold prices nearly doubling.
- •Pressure from the Trump administration for interest rate cuts has also weakened the dollar, making investments outside the US more attractive.
Why It Matters: The US dollar is at a 4-year low due to Trump's policies, geopolitical tensions, and investor shifts.
