Bitcoin has swung wildly over the last week as traders ride U.S. president Donald Trump's tariff rollercoaster (with Michael Saylor's Strategy issuing a shock warning).
U.S. president Donald Trump is grappling with a growing U.S. dollar “crisis of confidence” that some economists think could boost the bitcoin price.
“The question of a potential dollar confidence crisis has now been definitively answered—we are experiencing one in full force,” ING analysts including Francesco Pesole wrote in a note seen by Bloomberg. “The dollar collapse is working as a barometer of ‘sell America’ at the moment.”
The escalating Trump-led global trade war saw the ICE U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the U.S. dollar against a basket of global currencies, fall sharply this week, dropping under the 100 level and putting it on course to return to its 2022 range.
04/12 update: The U.S. dollar has fallen to its lowest level in three years as U.S. president Donald Trump’s hot-and-cold approach to global tariffs is driving extreme volatility on U.S. financial markets.
