US dollar retreats from 2-year high as Trump touts 'tremendous' tariff power, but holds off on swift action
Published On Jan 25, 2025, 8:28 AM
The US dollar has dipped from a near two-year high following President Trump's comments indicating a preference for not imposing tariffs on China. Although the dollar index saw a significant drop, it remains higher than it was in September 2023, largely influenced by Trump's election and subsequent economic policies. Analysts suggest that the uncertainty surrounding US tariff policies will continue to affect the dollar's value, with predictions for it to rise later this year as economic conditions evolve.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding tariff implementation and the influence on the dollar's strength, analysts predict that the US dollar could rebound as markets adjust to the ongoing economic conditions. A weak dollar can hinder US exports and affect earnings for companies heavily reliant on foreign markets, particularly in sectors that produce goods abroad.
