Impact of Trump's Tariff Plans on the Dollar: Contrary to expectations that President-elect Trump's tariffs would strengthen the U.S. dollar, concerns about a recession have led to a decline in the dollar's value, with the ICE U.S. Dollar Index dropping significantly since the tariffs were announced.
Market Reactions and Currency Trends: While safe-haven currencies like the yen and franc gained against the dollar, more commodity-linked currencies fell. Despite market volatility, experts believe the currency fluctuations do not pose an immediate threat to the economy, as companies are likely to hedge their currency risks conservatively.
