After tumbling hard on August 1, the U.S. dollar is bouncing back—but it’s been a wild ride. 🇺🇸💸
Friday’s weaker-than-expected jobs report had traders betting big on a Fed rate cut next month (95% odds 😳). And just when things couldn’t get messier, Trump fired top labor official Erika McEntarfer, while Fed Governor Kugler suddenly stepped down.
That chaos rocked markets: the dollar sank 1.5% vs. the Euro and 2% vs. the Yen. But today, it's crawling back—up 0.14% vs. the Yen and 0.2% vs. the Euro.
Analysts warn the Fed’s independence is under pressure, and MRB Partners is throwing red flags about mounting debt risks 📉. They say tying short-term debt to rate games could backfire badly—and even threaten the dollar’s world reserve crown 👑.
🔥 TL;DR: Political drama + soft jobs data = market panic. Buckle up, USD watchers.
