Donald Trump's Tweets and Their Impact on the Cryptocurrency Market
The tweets of former U.S. President Donald Trump are among the most prominent examples of how political statements affect financial markets, especially the currency market. Through the platform 'Twitter' (now known as 'X'), Trump made surprising statements related to economic and trade policies, which caused sharp fluctuations in foreign exchange markets.
The Immediate Impact of Trump's Tweets on Currencies
Analytical studies have shown that Trump's tweets, particularly those related to economic or trade policies, led to noticeable movements in currency prices. For example, his tweets that carried an optimistic tone about the U.S. economy contributed to the rise in the value of the dollar, while tweets that indicated trade or political tensions weakened the dollar against other currencies.
Trade Tensions and Their Impact on the Dollar
In 2025, Trump announced new tariffs on imports from China, leading to a decline in the dollar against the British pound, where it traded at 1.3292 dollars. This decline came as a result of investor concerns about the impact of these tariffs on the U.S. and global economy.
