Following Donald Trump’s surprise election win, the U.S. dollar surged across major currencies, sharply impacting EUR, GBP, JPY, and Gold. The euro and pound plunged as markets expected Trump’s policies, like higher tariffs, to support inflation and potentially increase interest rates. The yen also weakened considerably amid stronger U.S. dollar sentiment, further fueled by Japan’s hold on interest rates. Meanwhile, gold saw a swift sell-off as rising Treasury yields diminished its appeal as a safe-haven asset. The dollar’s momentum remains strong as Trump’s fiscal and trade policies shift investor interest away from non-yielding assets.
The EUR, GBP, JPY, NZD, and gold have recently shown mixed performance in response to economic data, geopolitical factors, and the upcoming U.S. election. The EUR and GBP face resistance due to limited upward momentum, while U.S. economic releases and the election may influence further fluctuations. JPY remains cautious as BoJ policy awaits key decisions, and USD strength is variable. NZD’s recent gains are tempered by weak economic data from the RBNZ, hinting at potential rate cuts, while gold finds support as a safe haven amid political uncertainty. Overall, currencies and gold are expected to exhibit restrained movement until post-election clarity.
