U.S. Dollar Breaks July Records—Thanks to the Trump Power Surge
When the headlines shout, “Trump leads the race,” the dollar just blinks brighter. With a potential Republican trifecta—winning the White House, the Senate, and maybe even the House—America is poised to put its own fiscal playbook on the table. That’s the kind of political fireworks that makes the green back‑handed like ever.
All‑In Government: What’s Brewing?
- Executive Overhaul: Donald Trump’s victory gives the GOP a clean slate to roll out tax cuts, deregulation, and other money‑making moves.
- Legislative Slam: If the Senate and House follow suit, legislators can approve those reforms without any pesky opposition.
- Dollar Boosters: The plan spells out higher GDP growth and a tighter, higher‑yield borrowing market for the U.S. dollar.
Yield Curve Gets a Lift
As investors foresee expanding fiscal fronts, Treasury yields are doing the cha‑cha. The 10‑year bond is now nudging up to 4.4%, a sign that the market is jumping on the boat that might lift the dollar to new heights.
Powell’s Friday Forecast
Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak on Thursday, and everyone’s gambling on whether he’ll be dovish or hawkish. A “soft‑talk” approach could cool the dollar’s recent sprint, whereas a “further rate hikes” tone might add another mile to that currency’s highway.
Why It Matters for You
If you’re holding foreign investments or planning a trip to the U.S., the stronger dollar could crunch your costs. But on the flip side, U.S. goods could become cheaper overseas—good news for international buyers!
