Abstract:As the U.S. dollar weakens sharply, forex markets face turbulence—how can investors find certainty amid the chaos?
The forex market experienced intense fluctuations this week, with the U.S. Dollar Index plunging to 100.23—its lowest since April 2022—marking a weekly loss of 2.5%. The dollar depreciated against major currencies, hitting fresh lows against the yen, Swiss franc, and euro.
Notably, the Swiss franc reached a 10-year high, while the yen surged as investors sought safety. The British pound rose steadily, and the Canadian dollar remained stable.
Rising global trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainty fueled volatility, with investor sentiment quickly shifting away from the dollar toward traditional safe-haven assets.
Several factors converged to pressure the dollar.
First, Aprils U.S. consumer confidence index showed a sharp decline, with 12-month inflation expectations surging to their highest since 1981—stoking concerns over economic instability.
Second, tariff-related remarks amplified worries over global trade volume, undermining the dollars safe-haven appeal.
Third, U.S. Treasury yields experienced their sharpest weekly gain since 2001, reflecting uncertainty over inflation and fiscal policy. Analysts warn that the dollar may continue to test lower levels, especially after breaching the critical 100.50 support, as markets reassess its global standing.
Looking ahead, the dollar index is expected to fluctuate between 99.50 and 101.00. Should risk-off sentiment persist, the Swiss franc and yen could strengthen further. The euro and pound may consolidate at recent highs, while the Canadian dollar remains range-bound.
However, challenges abound: U.S. economic data, geopolitical developments, and global inflation trends will all shape future moves. In this climate, investors must adopt a flexible currency allocation strategy, focusing on risk management and diversification to navigate the dollars downtrend and seize emerging opportunities.
