The US dollar is experiencing a significant drop, which may be the largest in the last three months. Investors are reconsidering their position in relation to the so-called «trump trade», which led to the growth of the currency after his election victory. The US currency index fell by 0.2% on Friday, increasing the decline this week to 1.1%, and remains at 105. Trump's recent threats to impose tariffs and the appointment of Scott Bessent to the post of US Treasury Secretary, which is associated with government spending cuts, have caused unrest in financial markets. This led to a decrease in US Treasury bond yields and an increase in the long-term positioning index. Experts believe that the fall in the dollar is also caused by exhaustion after a long period of growth that began after Trump's victory. The dollar is expected to fluctuate in the coming months before Trump's inauguration, when his economic policy will become clearer.
