The US dollar strengthened significantly after President Donald Trump renewed threats to impose tariffs on imports from key trading partners. The announcement spurred a shift toward safe-haven assets as investors responded to heightened economic uncertainty. Risk-sensitive currencies like the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso weakened sharply amid fears of potential trade disruptions.

Trump’s comments highlighted plans for tariffs targeting imports from China, Canada, and Mexico, reigniting tensions among major economies. The renewed focus on trade conflicts weighed on market sentiment, with investors anticipating further volatility. This reaction underlined growing concerns about the global economic outlook as protectionist policies threaten to destabilize trade relations.

The rally in the dollar index also reflected expectations of robust U.S. economic performance, despite Trump’s push for a weaker dollar to reduce trade deficits. Analysts noted that while the dollar’s strength might benefit from current policies, prolonged trade disputes could pose challenges for international relations and economic stability.

This latest development has positioned the US dollar as a focal point for traders, with markets awaiting further clarification on tariff policies. Currency movements are expected to remain sensitive to geopolitical developments, particularly as the U.S. engages with its trading partners over tariff negotiations.
