The US dollar has experienced its weakest start to a year on record in 2025, losing nearly 9% of its value year-to-date. This decline is reflected in the US Dollar Index, which is tracking its worst performance since 1975. Major global currencies such as the euro, Chinese yuan (CNH), South Korean won (KRW), Australian dollar (AUD), and Japanese yen (JPY) have strengthened against the dollar. The euro, in particular, showed a 0.591% return against the dollar recently, while the Australian dollar was noted as the strongest earlier with a 0.216% gain. Conversely, currencies like the Swedish krona (SEK) and Canadian dollar (CAD) have weakened against the dollar. The depreciation of the US dollar coincides with the return of Donald Trump to the presidency in January 2025 and the renewed trade tensions initiated by his administration. Analysts suggest that unless there is a major shift in Trump’s policies, the dollar may face a prolonged period of weakness unseen since the early 2000s. The Swiss franc, traditionally seen as a safe haven, has appreciated by about 5% since Trump’s return to the White House. The dollar’s decline has implications for global markets, as its weakening affects foreign exchange volatility and trade dynamics.
