Trump has vowed to protect the US dollar amid the onslaught of the de-dollarization agenda kick-started by developing nations. “Ultimately, not all tariffs are equal when it comes to FX,” the strategists wrote in a note. “But given the unwind of premium in key crosses in recent weeks, we once again think tariff risks look underpriced, making long dollar exposure now look even more attractive.”

Therefore, currency investors can take long positions in the US dollar now as its prospects look “more attractive”. Local currencies are under pressure due to tariffs and the USD is coming out on top. The Indian rupee has fallen to a lifetime low while the Chinese yuan and the Japanese yen have dipped to yearly lows. The development indicates that tariffs are working against de-dollarization and placing the US dollar on top.
