Customs tariffs stir fluctuations.. the dollar declines and gold hits record numbers!

Global markets witnessed clear movements during this week's trading, coinciding with the release of many U.S. economic data, topped by U.S. economic growth data. Here are the most significant movements observed in the markets:

The U.S. dollar clearly declined during this week’s trading, despite the release of important economic data, which came in better than market expectations. However, the dollar index was affected by renewed concerns regarding tariffs against the United States' trading partners, which could hinder U.S. economic growth, dropping by 0.32% and stabilizing near levels of 104.32 points.

As for gold, it rises due to the weakness of the dollar.

Bitcoin saw an increase this week with heightened trade concerns and a weak dollar.

Bitcoin experienced a rise of 1.08%, reaching a level of $87,000, amid ongoing optimism regarding digital assets, alongside the weakness of the U.S. dollar, which boosted demand for cryptocurrencies.

As for U.S. stock indices, they declined slightly, influenced by investors' concerns about new tariff policies, which could affect central banks' monetary policies and limit economic growth.
