🌟 About This Video 🌟
The U.S. dollar has fallen over 10% since Donald Trump returned to the White House, a market shift with broad trade and investment implications. Trump praised the weak dollar as “great,” while the U.S. dollar’s slide has coincided with tariff threats, pressure on the Federal Reserve, and concern over rising federal debt. As safe-haven appeal wanes, gold prices have doubled since early 2025 and briefly reached $5,500 an ounce, underscoring volatile hedging dynamics. Exporters and multinational firms such as Apple benefit from a softer currency, even as investors remain unsettled. Officials sent mixed signals: the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis said the weakness aligns with administration preferences, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reaffirmed a “strong dollar policy” based on fundamentals. #weakerdollar #trumppolicy #currencystrategy #globaleconomy #usexports
