The US dollar has weakened notably in the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's new term, declining more than 8% against a basket of major currencies as measured by the US Dollar Index (DXY). This basket includes the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc. The dollar's decline has attracted investor interest in alternative currencies, particularly the euro, which has seen increased demand amid this shift. Latin American currencies have also experienced a rebound during this period, although they continue to face external risks and local challenges. The dollar's depreciation reached approximately 9% in April alone, prompting speculation about its trajectory in the coming months. Analysts and financial institutions such as Bank of America have highlighted these trends, noting the potential implications for global currency markets and investor behavior.
