Investors are now turning to alternative currencies as Trump targets Fed Chair Jerome Powell, threatening the Fed’s independence and the dollar’s once unshakable position.

Since April 21, 2025, the U.S. dollar crumbled, reaching a low not seen since March 2022.

The ICE U.S. Dollar Index indicates this alarming decline, dropping to 97.92.

Tensions between Trump and the Federal Reserve amplify uncertainty among global investors, prompting them to retreat from U.S. assets.

President Trump’s war of words against Powell has escalated, calling him a “major loser” and demanding prompt interest rate cuts to aid the economy.

Such attacks on the Fed’s autonomy rattle investor confidence and signal political interference, a foreboding prospect for the markets.

Over the previous three months, the dollar nosedived 10%, inching toward its lowest trough since the 2022 bear market.

Amid this turmoil, gold prices have surged, providing a refuge for investors as they reach over $3,400 per ounce, marking nearly a 30% rise this year.

The persistent dollar drop reflects global trepidation over potential economic decisions.

Analysts voice apprehension that removing Powell could exacerbate market instability.

U.S. stock indices such as the Dow Jones have concurrently plummeted, echoing fears of misguided policy.

“We’re seeing a clear signal from the market that it doesn’t like even the idea that the president might try to remove the Fed chair,” Krishna Guha, vice chairman at Evercore ISI, told CNBC.

In light of these developments, Trump urges the Fed to cut rates preemptively, pointing to minimal inflation and decreasing energy costs.

Meanwhile, major currencies like the euro and Japanese yen gain against the faltering dollar, indicative of investor preference for stability.

As the dollar continues to dwindle, market signals highlight dwindling confidence in U.S. economic policy-making.

The economic landscape appears precarious, with global investors reluctant to maintain substantial U.S. investments amidst uncertainty surrounding the Fed’s prospects.
