‘Sell America’ Trade On Pause After Relief Rally as Investors Shift From ‘U.S. Exceptionalism’ Amid Dollar Weakness

The narrative around U.S. economic prospects has shifted markedly from the long-held belief in 'U.S. exceptionalism' to a growing trend dubbed the 'Sell America' trade, where investors are reassessing and reducing exposure to U.S. assets. This shift reflects concerns about the weakening U.S. dollar and broader economic uncertainties. Market reactions have been volatile, with rapid changes in sentiment observed over recent days. However, a relief rally on Wednesday has suggested that the 'Sell America' trade may currently be on pause, raising questions about whether the worst phase of this trend has passed or if further volatility lies ahead.
