US dollar index drops 11% in H1 2025: What's ailing the greenback?

  • The US dollar index fell nearly 11% over the first half of 2025, hitting a four-year low by early July amid ongoing economic and policy shifts.
  • This decline followed President Donald Trump's January 2025 inauguration and his preference for a weaker dollar to boost US export competitiveness.
  • Contributing factors include Asian central banks shifting reserves toward gold, diminished global demand for dollar assets, warnings from global agencies, and rising expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts.
  • Jim Cramer called Wall Street to a "tremendous, intriguing" inflection point, noting the dollar's weakness may benefit US exporters like Procter & Gamble and cause market reactions linked to trade deals with Vietnam.
  • The dollar's tumble signals structural fiscal challenges and market uncertainty, suggesting that absent decisive Fed action or stronger US growth, this downtrend could persist with broad economic implications.
