The dollar saw its largest rise since early 2020, as investors anticipate a favorable trade environment for the US. Conversely, the Mexican peso dropped due to speculation about renewed tariffs on imports, which Trump’s administration is likely to prioritize in support of US industries.
Bond markets also reflected optimism, with 30-year Treasury yields climbing. Investors appear to view Trump’s return to the presidency as a sign of economic growth, supported by policies that aim to reduce America’s reliance on foreign imports.
