              A 
new courtship at the highest levels of finance is worth paying attention to this year. A weaker U.S. dollar is wooing President Donald Trump, and he could very well fall in love with it.

              Investors aren’t reflexively reaching for the dollar as armor against recent global market shocks, whether it’s Trump demanding Greenland or pointing a cannon — economic or military — at friendly governments in Europe. The dollar has shed more than 10% of its value since Trump 
re-entered the Oval Office, according to the
              <a data-linktext="U.S. Dollar Index" data-linktype="Normal" style="color:#4C84AA;" target="_blank">

              “Certainly confidence has been eroded a little bit,” Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist for LPL Financial, told Quartz Washington. He listed tariff threats, ongoing volleys against the Federal Reserve, and 
the growing federal debt as all combining to spook investors away from the dollar and diminish its usual reputation as a safe asset.
             </div>
             <div>
              <br/>
             </div>
             <div>
              “All of that has left foreign investors wondering, ‘how much dollar do I really want to have exposure to?’” Turnquist said.

              Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist of accounting firm RSM, said the dollar has more room to fall this year. “It's not going to be anywhere near the 10% decline we observed in 2025, but modest single-digit declines look about right,” Brusuelas 
said.
             </div>

             </div>
             <div>
              The dollar’s diminished luster arrived in tandem with an astonishing surge for gold that kicked off at the start of last year. Since January 2025, gold doubled in value and at one point reached a record of $5,500 per ounce.

              Gold prices have see-sawed in enormous swings more reminiscent of Bitcoin over the past week, a sign the asset isn’t entirely immune from trading shocks.

              In November, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis said the weakening dollar was “consistent with the current federal administration’s stated preferences.” On that front, there have been mixed signals.

              Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has maintained that the White House isn’t interested in devaluing the 
dollar. “The U.S. always has a strong dollar policy,” Bessent

              authored in late 2024 by Stephen Miran, a Trump economic adviser now serving in a temporary capacity as a Federal Reserve governor. He argued that a strong dollar made U.S. exports too expensive for foreign customers, and that Trump could attempt to compel other countries to strengthen the value of 
their currencies.

              Indeed, a feebler dollar does help Trump achieve his longstanding goal of eliminating the trade deficit, which he views as evidence that the U.S. is getting ripped off. The trade deficit has shrunk, but many economists maintain such a gap isn’t a sign of economic weakness.

              The U.S. dollar is 
no stranger to competitors in global markets. The Chinese renminbi has long been viewed as a rival to U.S. dominance. Others like the Euro as well. Still, they’re not in the same league. The dollar is still the

              “These things tend to move in cycles. I think we've just moved into a period where the U.S. is pulling back from its primary role in facilitating goods around the global economy,” Brusuelas said. “It’s looking more inward. It's seeking to rebalance the global trade system so that it accents its interest. The price of that is likely to be a weaker dollar.”
