As Donald Trump's inauguration approaches, the US dollar has shown resilience despite a potential decline, having ended a six-week winning streak. Investors are closely monitoring the situation, with the dollar steadying ahead of the inauguration and expected policy announcements from the incoming administration. The Japanese yen has strengthened, impacting Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average, which fell significantly due to concerns over US stock market trends and the firmer yen affecting exporters. The Nikkei ended down by 121 points, reflecting market caution as traders brace for potential volatility linked to Trump's initial policy moves. Meanwhile, the Mexican peso has been particularly volatile, leading losses among Latin American currencies as investors remain apprehensive about the implications of Trump's presidency on regional economies.
