BlockBeats News, August 21, Jill Hirzel from Insight Investment stated in a report that the dollar may weaken as Trump's policies undermine the appeal of American exceptionalism and could lead to a decrease in capital inflows to the U.S. Hirzel said, "Policy uncertainty and a more aggressive 'America First' agenda may erode the dollar's cyclical support, leading it into a period of sustained weakness." However, she also noted that investors should exercise caution when excessively betting on a dollar decline through short positions, as growth outside the U.S. is expected to be at best weak, and speculators may already hold significant short positions on the dollar. Furthermore, before signs of economic weakness emerge that would concern policymakers, inflation-adjusted real interest rates may remain elevated.
