As a reflection of the uncertainty surrounding Wall Street, the US dollar is one of the most affected by the new trade policies of the White House. Since the beginning of the year, it has fallen by 5.6% against a diversified basket of other major currencies. Only against the euro, its decline is 8.7% (the euro rises by 10% in 2025). The eurozone currency is now exchanged for 1.13 dollars (this Friday it exceeded 1.145) which means reaching highs from February 2022. The euro is one of those assets that was already rising against the dollar before April 2 and continues to do so since then. It is, along with the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc, one of the assets with the clearest upward trend in the market.
