Trump Comments on Dollar, Leads to Market Fluctuations
2026-01-28 05:14

U.S. President Trump stated that he believes the dollar is performing well and he is not concerned about its depreciation. He suggested that while it is possible to manipulate the dollar's exchange rate, he does not consider it beneficial. Trump also criticized Japan for attempting to devalue its currency. Following his comments, the DXY index, which measures the value of the U.S. dollar against a basket of foreign currencies, initially rose slightly but then fell by more than 50 points, reaching its lowest level since February 2022. Non-U.S. currencies strengthened, with the offshore Chinese yuan approaching the 6.93 mark against the U.S. dollar, and gold prices increased to over $5180 per ounce.
