IDEA FOR NEXT WEEK.

The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) closed the week up 0.61% at 104.951 after reaching a high of 105.441 and a low of 103.373, marking a strong finish amid fresh speculation around Trump’s economic policies and the Federal Reserve’s rate cut. With markets anticipating Trump’s potential pro-growth and inflationary policies—such as increased tariffs and deregulation—the dollar surged as traders recalibrated their inflation outlooks. The dollar’s gains reflect traders’ positioning for inflationary pressures that could affect the Fed’s future rate path.
