Remarks Come Amid Sharp Decline in DXY and Renewed Interest in Bitcoin and GoldU.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on Tuesday that the United States remains committed to a strong dollar policy, despite recent market volatility and the dollar index (DXY) dropping to its lowest level in over three years.“The U.S. continues to adhere to a strong dollar policy,” Bessent said in prepared remarks during his financial system address in Washington, D.C.The reaffirmation comes as the U.S. dollar has weakened nearly 9% year-to-date, falling to 98.8 — a level last seen in April 2022 — amid heightened concerns over trade tensions, Treasury buybacks, and potential shifts in monetary policy.Market Context: Dollar Weakness, Crypto StrengthThe timing of ’s statement is notable as Bitcoin (BTC) and gold have surged to multi-week highs, with investors increasingly viewing both assets as hedges against dollar depreciation and macroeconomic instability.BTC recently crossed $94,000, its highest since early MarchGold hit a new all-time high of $3,382 per ounceEquity markets also remain elevated, with the S&P 500 gaining 2.5% on the dayDespite these moves, analysts suggest Benson’s remarks are intended to calm markets and reinforce the U.S. government’s long-standing currency policy.

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he does not intend to dismiss Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, following several days of heightened criticism aimed at the central bank’s decision to hold interest rates steady.“I have no intention of firing him,” Trump said during a press briefing in the Oval Office. “I would like to see him be a little more active in terms of his idea to lower interest rates.”The president’s statement marked a clear de-escalation from earlier rhetoric during the Easter holiday weekend, when Trump repeatedly criticized Powell for being “too slow” in adjusting monetary policy in the face of global economic uncertainty.Immediate Market ReactionU.S. equity index futures jumped nearly 2% during Tuesday evening trading as markets welcomed the renewed political stability around the Federal Reserve’s leadership. The rebound came after Monday’s broad sell-off that had impacted stocks, bonds, and the U.S. dollar on the back of Trump’s prior comments.The president’s softened stance helped to alleviate investor fears of central bank politicization or unexpected leadership changes during a period of high macroeconomic sensitivity.Market Sensitivity to Fed IndependenceTrump’s comments had sparked concerns over the Federal Reserve’s independence, a cornerstone of U.S. monetary policy. Although the U.S. president does not have unilateral authority to remove the Fed Chair without cause, markets had become jittery over the tone of recent White House remarks.While Trump has continued to pressure the Fed to lower borrowing costs more aggressively, Tuesday’s remarks signal a temporary truce that could allow policymakers to refocus on economic data rather than political expectations, according to Reuters.
