US Dollar and Treasurys Plunge as Investors Abandon American Assets

Trump's erratic tariff policies trigger global sell-off, raising fears over the dollar's reserve status and America's fiscal sustainability.

The US Dollar Index dropped below 100 for the first time since 2023, hitting a three-year low as investors seek alternative safe-haven assets like gold, the yen, and Swiss francs.
Treasury yields are rising, signaling falling prices, with the 10-year yield climbing to 4.45%, reflecting a broad retreat from US financial markets.
Global confidence in the dollar is waning, with analysts warning of potential long-term impacts on its status as the world's leading reserve currency.
The sell-off highlights concerns over America's ability to sustain high debt levels, as the weakening dollar undermines fiscal flexibility and stability.
Despite the turmoil, some analysts point to the US market's depth and liquidity as factors that could eventually restore confidence in the dollar.
