Is the Dollar Losing Its Trustworthiness Under Trump

Rising tariffs correlate with a decline in the U.S. dollar, indicating potential loss of confidence in the U.S. economy. The dollar decreased by 9% against other currencies since mid-January, reaching its lowest point in three years. This shift suggests investor distrust as tariffs alter global trade dynamics. Historically, decreased demand for foreign goods due to tariffs would strengthen the dollar, but the current weakening poses risks for U.S. economic growth and living standards. Increased import costs from countries like France and South Korea may affect consumers. The ballooning federal debt at 120% of GDP could lead to higher interest rates, as global considerations for alternatives to the dollar gain traction. Discussions around cryptocurrencies and yuan-denominated trade agreements further highlight concerns about the dollar's future as a reserve currency. Furthermore, fluctuating international perceptions of U.S. trade policy, particularly under President Trump's tariffs, introduce uncertainty that may impact economic credibility.
