US Dollar extends losses amid fresh trade tensions
Wednesday, 12 March 2025 01:26 WIB | US DOLLAR |DOLLAR

The US Dollar (DXY) continues its downward spiral on Tuesday, with DXY hovering near 103.40 as trade tensions escalate. United States (US) President Donald Trump's decision to hike tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50% rattled markets, adding further pressure on the Greenback. Meanwhile, in Europe, Germany's Green coalition voiced support for a defense spending bill, providing an additional boost to the Euro (EUR). US equities erased earlier gains, with the Dow Jones down over 1%, reflecting broader market concerns.

The CME FedWatch Tool indicates a near certainty that rates will remain unchanged in the March 19 meeting, while the probability of a rate cut in May has climbed significantly.
