US dollar suffers worst start to year since 1973

The U.S. dollar has suffered its worst start to a year since 1973, declining about 10 percent through 2025 amid President Trump's trade policies.
This decline follows historical precedents beginning with Nixon suspending dollar-gold convertibility on August 15, 1971, which destabilized the global monetary system.
Trump's tariff war and increasing public debt worries have triggered uncertainty, while debates continue over the Federal Reserve's independence and the impact on domestic manufacturing.
The Financial Times reported that global companies with U.S. operations face weaker dollar revenues, and the U.S. Senate is preparing to pass a bill that may expand deficits by trillions.
The odds of a crisis have risen sharply over the next four to five years, suggesting risks to the dollar, inflation, and growth, although a crisis is not inevitable.
